One day our professor was discussing a particularly complicated
concept. A pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask, “Why do we have
to learn this pointless information.”
“To save lives.” the professor responded quickly and continued the
lecture.
A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. “So how does
physics save lives?” he persisted.
“It keeps the ignoramuses like you out of medical school,” replied the
professor.
