<< A college student walks into his philosophy 101 class final exam, a class he has seldom attended. It is in a large auditorium, and in the middle of the stage sits a single chair.. Eventually, The professor walks across the stage and states the exam, "Prove this chair exists." The professor leaves. Panic overcomes the auditorium. The college student instantly writes, "What chair?", turns in his exam paper, and departs. Most of the students write for hours. His answer received the only "A+"!.....
I guess it's all in one's perception! >>
dave, actually, this is a case of non-perception (blindness) being taught and rewarded.
Or I guess that it is possible that the student knew that his professor was full of baloney and perceived that to get a good grade he needed to put down on paper what he had figured out that the nutty professor wanted. In this case the student would have been perceptive (able to see both the foolishness of the professor & his exam, and also seeing what it took to get a good grade).
OK, my turn with a philosophy story:
The philosopher DesCarte was sitting in a Restaurant, he had just eaten. The waitress asked, "Mr. DesCarte, would you like anything else?" He replied, "I think not." And he ceased to exist.
