    A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class,
    I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might
    consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death
    in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!' A
    smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What
    would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter
    sexual exhaustion?' The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering
    When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student,
    shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam
    with your other hand.'
