Professor:—“Candidate, what in law do we call one who assists another in committing a crime—who for instance, makes him a key, with which to open the door?”
Candidate:—“That is a locksmith.”
Final Farewell
Professor:—“Candidate, what does the term dos mean?”
Candidate:—“Dos—dos—I am sorry I can’t think of it this minute.”
Professor:—“Imagine you were engaged to be married. On your wedding day your father-in-law says, ‘I shall give my daughter 50,000 thaler.’ What would that be?”
Candidate:—“That would be great good luck for me.”
Professor:—“I fully agree with you. Now translate for me this mandate from the Codex. Read the introduction.”
Candidate (reads):—“Sancimus hac lege in perpetuum valitura——”
Professor:—“Stop! Translate these words.”
