When Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London,<\/h2>\n

there was a professor, whose last name was Peters, who felt animosity for Gandhi, and because Gandhi never lowered his head towards him, their \u201carguments\u201d were very common.<\/p>\n

One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor.<\/p>\n

The professor, in his arrogance, said, \u201cMr Gandhi: you do not understand\u2026 a pig and a bird do not sit together to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gandhi replies, \u201cYou do not worry professor, I\u2019ll fly away,\u201d and he went and sat at another table.<\/p>\n

Mr. Peters, green of rage, decides to take revenge on the next test, but Gandhi responds brilliantly to all questions.<\/p>\n

Then, Mr. Peters asked him the following question, \u201cMr Gandhi, if you are walking down the street and find a package, and within it there is a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money; which one will you take?\u201d Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, \u201cThe one with the money, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Peters, smiling, said, \u201cI, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don\u2019t you think?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEach one take what one doesn\u2019t have\u201d, responded Gandhi indifferently.<\/p>\n

Mr. Peters, already hysteric, writes on the exam sheet the word \u201cidiot\u201d and gives it to Gandhi. Gandhi takes the exam sheet and sits down.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, Gandhi goes to the professor and says,\u00a0\u201cMr. Peters, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.<\/h2>\n

\u201cIn English,\u201d he said, \u201cA double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.\u201d<\/p>\n

A voice from the back of the room piped up, \u201cYeah, right.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A college student was in a philosophy class, where there was a class discussion about whether or not God exists,<\/h2>\n

The professor had the following logic:<\/p>\n

\u201cHas anyone in this class heard God?\u201d Nobody spoke.<\/p>\n

\u201cHas anyone in this class touched God?\u201d Again, nobody spoke.<\/p>\n

\u201cHas anyone in this class seen God?\u201d When nobody spoke for the third time, he simply stated, \u201cThen there is no God.\u201d<\/p>\n

The student did not like the sound of this at all, and asked for permission to speak.<\/p>\n

The professor granted it, and the student stood up and asked the following questions of his classmates:<\/p>\n

\u201cHas anyone in this class heard our professor\u2019s brain?\u201d Silence.<\/p>\n

\u201cHas anyone in this class touched our professor\u2019s brain?\u201d Absolute silence.<\/p>\n

\u201cHas anyone in this class seen our professor\u2019s brain?\u201d<\/p>\n

When nobody in the class dared to speak, the student concluded, \u201cThen, according to our professor\u2019s logic, it must be true that our professor has no brain!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
