    This is actually an email i got a year or so ago and for some reason i just remembered it.


    An american student was running half an hour late for an exam when he arrived at the study hall, his lecturer, the bastard that he was, told him that there is no way he would have insufficient time to compleate the exam and that he may as well leave, the student told the teacher that he was going to try at least.

    The lecturer gave the usual 30 minutes warning and the student was writin frantically but seem to be only half way through the test, eventually the lecturer called time and all the students gave up there exams, all the students except one, the origional guy who was late.

    The lecturer requested his paper and when the student didnt reply he said that he may as well not bother as his paper was not compleated on time and that it was void.

    Half an hour passed and the student arrived to the lecturer and proceeded to give the test paper and as expected he flat refused to accpect the paper.
    The student just asked "do you know who i am, do you not know who my father is", at this the lecturer replied "I dont care who you or your family are", the student once again spoke "you mean you really dont know who i am or whats worse you dont know who my family is" and the teacher replied i said already that i dont care about you or your family.

    At this point the student shoved his paper into the middle of the other pile of papers that were sitting on the lecturer's desk and walked out of the hall.

    What actually happened is amazing, as a result of the students conversation with the lecturer, he actually passed the examination on account of he had no idea of the students name, the lecturer had no idea which paper that belonged to the student as it was stuck in the middle of the others

    My memory of this has more than likely not done this justice but i hope you liked it anyway
