"The problem is that the department head doesn't want the grades in one class too high. If I make it too easy, I could get in trouble. Of course you all could just be the smartest people in the school. But given what I've seen, I can't prove of that."

Prof: My markers made a huge mess of the grades. There's people whose name is 3 question marks, and some of you have 4 different grades in one assignment. So if they don't sort them out by Monday I'll give you all 100% in the assignments. And if someone doesn't like that, you can beat on the markers.
Student: Sir, can we go beat them up now, so we're sure they can't sort the marks?
[everyone laughs]
Prof: Sure. And by the way, is there anyone in this class called...first name Milky second name Way?
