Since Caltech has an honor system most exams tend to be take home and open book. The instructor for the class will write any special directions at the top of the exam. For a freshman physics exam one year the instructions read:
You have 3 hours.
You may use your class notes and Feynman.

One evening after attending the theatre, two cowboys were walking down the avenue when they observed a rather well-dressed and attractive lady just ahead of them. One of them turned to the other and remarked, "I'd give $50 to spend the night with that woman." To their surprise, the young lady overheard the remark and, turning around, said, "I'll take you up on that." She had a neat appearance and a pleasant voice so after bidding his companion adieu, the man accompanied the lady to her apartment where they immediately went to bed.

Do these guys at Radio Shack ever get on your nerves, asking you for a bunch of personal data when you're just there to buy something as simple as a couple AA batteries? I think we should inconvenience these people as much as they do us. A while ago I was in Enid buying a printer cable adaptor and the guy asked me for my name.

The following is a true story. It amused the hell out of me while it was happening. I hope it isn't one of those "had to be there" things.
-- Brett M. Thorson
On my way home from the second job I've taken for the extra holiday ca$h I need, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people getting pissed at me.
