"Quick Thinkers"

Al Capp, creator of the famous comic strip Lil
Abner, was one day invited to a university to
give a lecture to the students.

Before he could begin speaking to the large
group assembled in the auditorium, a very
unkempt-looking student at the back shouted
a vulgar word at him.

The word rung in everyone's ears.

There was a shocked silence but Capp, keeping
his composure, said: "Now that you've given us
your name, what's your question?"

A professor was one day walking along a very
narrow street when he came face to face with
a rival.

The street was too narrow for two to pass.

The rival, pulling himself up to his full height, said
haughtily: "I never make way for fools!"

Smiling, the professor stepped aside and said:
"I always do."
