Professor (laughing):—“Then candidate, you are certainly no criminal.”
A Modern Solomon
Professor:—“I will put a law case before you: Mother and daughter slept with their two little boys, in the same room. As the children were dressed exactly alike, the nurses changed them, so nobody could tell which was the mother’s and which the daughter’s child. How would you decide the case?”
Candidate:—“Are you sure that the children were exchanged?”
Professor:—“Didn’t I tell you so just now?”
Candidate:—“Very well, then you simply exchange the children again.”
Direct or Indirect
“Is the dog tax a direct or an indirect tax?”
