A POOR but clever student in the University of Glasgow was met by one of
the Professors, who noticing the scantiness of his academical toga,
said, Mr. ----, your gown is very short.--It will be long enough,
sir, before I get another, replied the student. The answer tickled the
Professor greatly, and he went on quietly chuckling to himself, when he
met a brother Professor, who, noticing his hilarity, inquired what was
amusing him so much. Why, that fellow ---- said such a funny thing. I
asked why his gown was so short, and he said, 'it will be a long time
before I get another.'--There's nothing very funny in that.--Well,
no, replied the other, there is not, after all. But it was the way he
said it.
