"Thưa thầy, xin phép thầy cho em hỏi một câu thôi được không ạ?", một sinh viên hỏi vị giáo sư già đang đi trong hành lang một trường đại học.
-Tất nhiên, em có vấn đề gì chưa hiểu về bài giảng à?
- Dạ không, chỉ là vấn đề cá nhân. Em không rõ mỗi khi thầy đi ngủ thì thầy để bộ râu phía trên hay cho vào trong chăn?
- Ừm, một câu hỏi rất lý thú, tôi chưa bao giờ nghĩ đến điều đó. Tôi sẽ trả lời em sau nhé - vị giáo sư trả lời sau một hồi suy nghĩ.
- Dạ, em cảm ơn thầy.
Một tuần sau, vị giáo sư mặt xanh xao, mắt thâm quầng gặp lại chàng sinh viên nọ liền túm lấy ngực áo cậu ta:
- Lẽ ra thầy phải cho em vài nắm đấm mới được! Suốt cả tuần nay, thầy không ngủ được vì không biết để bộ râu ở đâu. Nằm thế này cũng bất tiện, nằm thế kia cũng bất tiện... chỉ vì thắc mắc của em!!!

Chú kia cướp lời, vẻ hiểu biết:
- Mày thử bị lửa đốt vào đít như nó xem, có khi còn bay nhanh hơn ấy chứ!
