Proctor: I beg your pardon?
Student: Sir, I request that you bring me Cakes and Ale.
Proctor: Sorry, no.
Student: Sir, I really must insist. I request and require that you bring me cakes and ale.
At this point, the student produced a copy of the four hundred year old laws of Cambridge, written in Latin and still nomilly in effect, and pointed to the section which read (rough translation from the Latin):
Gentlemen sitting examinations may request and require cakes and ale.
Pepsi and hamburgers were judged the modern equivalent, and the student sat there, writing his examination and happily slurping away.
Fortulately, the proctor was able to fine the student five pounds for not wearing a sword to the examination.
Happy final exams, Bud Sanders
