The final exam for a class was scheduled from 8:00-11:00 AM
At 10 AM, with one hour to go, Little Johnny walks in and asks for an exam:
The professor hands it to him but informs him that he still must finish within the hour or he will receive a zero and fail the course.
“That’s fine.” Said Johnny, and calmly took a seat and began the test.
At 11:00, Johnny had not finished the test.
The professor asked for the exam to be turned in.
“No, thank you.” Said Johnny
“I’ll finish it.”
“I’m going to my office to grade these
If you don’t turn it in now, you’ll receive a zero.”
“Okay then.” Said Johnny.
At 1 PM, the professor heard a knock on his office door
Not very much to his surprise, it was Johnny.
“I’m here to turn in my exam.” Said the student.
“Sorry, you can’t turn it in now
The deadline was two hours ago.”
“I understand
I just thought it would be okay, you know, because of who I am.”
“What do you mean?” Asked the professor.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Laughed Johnny
“Don’t you know who I am?”
At this point the professor became angry.
“It doesn’t matter who you are! You have to meet the same requirements as everyone else! Nobody gets special treatment!”
“Okay, okay, I get it
But you really don’t know who I am?”
“I have no idea who you are!”
At this moment, Johnny picks up the stack of exams, slips his into the middle and hands it back to the professor.
“Have a great summer!” said Little Johnny, and left.
