America is a big country...big land, big cities, big cars..big boobs...big ideas...big brains--whoops! Did I say brains? I meant trains--we have big trains here--very big trains.
One of my night supervisors was telling me about an ordeal college was--something I could relate to--seems we both have Swiss cheese memories. Anyhow, she took a psychology class, and the first day the professor said, "I want you to memorize this table--I want it etched into your brain! We're going to use it in an upcoming exam." So, my supervisor goes home, and memorizes the stupid table of all these various emotional disorders--goes to class the following week: no exam. Well, she thought maybe she had it wrong and the exam was the next week. So, she studies the table even harder.
Well, it's into week three, and still no exam on the blasted emotional disorders table. So, she goes and corners the prof. "When's this exam on the table, she asks? I thought we were going to be quizzed on it?" The professor looked at her and replied, "No, you only had to memorize the page it's on--it's an open-book exam."
Yes, boys and girls, that's the American education system for you.
