A Philosophy Joke..??

The Chair

An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam after a
semester dealing with a broad array of topics.

The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor picked
up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: "Using
everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not
exist."

Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion.
Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the
existence of the chair.
One member of the class, however, was up and finished in less than a
minute.

Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered
how he could have gotten an A when he had barely written anything at all.

This is what he wrote: "What chair?"

2. our philosophy department

was borderline prestigious at the time.

i was lot more serious as a young man. i idolized most of the faculty back then.

25 years later, i can see it for what it was: a bunch of drunks chasing young tail spouting high falutin bullshit.

i should have went for a Ph.D.

dang.
