Day 2: To have or not to have a sense of humor

“If fate doesn't make you laugh, you just don't get the joke.” 
- Gregory David Roberts

I was going to write about something else but while talking with my friend I just remembered a story from my university times. The story is about how I failed one of my exams in the first year. Yes, I failed an exam but only once so it is not that exciting. Sorry :-)

But the point is that I failed it because of my sense of humor. It was an oral exam. So when it was my turn I entered the examination room. My professor sized me up and asked: "Your name is?" I was sure that he knew my name so I provided it in the asking way. He looked at me and said: "You are not sure what your surname is?" Then, I did it. I tried to relieve the situation and I admitted that he was right becuase in women's case you never know what their surname is becuase it changes from time to time, at least once in a lifetime. 

He didn't get it and I failed.
