Re: Lighter moments



My father told me this story about a high school teacher when I was in high
school (he thought the story was true) and I was in high school 40 years
ago.




Interestingly enough this true story may be based on a not-so-true story.
The professor told me that in the 30 minutes he had to try and figure out
what to do a story came him about a similar situation that supposedly
happened here at Rensselaer, involving a rather famous teacher here...
Four students come to the instructor and say they couldn't make it to a
test because while they were on their way to the exam their car go a flat.
The professor sat them in the four corners and asked them each to write the
answer to one question: "What tire was it."
