At a prestigious university there is a clear hierarchy that outlines how long one was to wait for a class to begin if the professor doesn't show up. A
full professor is rated fifteen minutes; an associate only ten. A mere instructor was expected to be on time, if not early. This system worked only
one way, however, and students were afforded no such grace.
It was to be expected, therefore, that one professor, the foremost authority in his field by his own admission, would register distinct annoyance when
a student, just out of military service, was late for class for the third morning running.
"Tell me," the professor began, "exactly what did they say in the Army when you sauntered in late like this?"
"Well," mused the unperturbed young man, "first they saluted, and then they asked, 'How are you this morning, sir?'"
