As part of the standard curriculum in a pre-med college, the
students had to take a difficult class in physics. One day, the
professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. Part
way through the class, a student rudely interrupted to ask, 'Why do
we have to learn this stuff?'
'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 usually keeps idiots like you out of medical school,'
replied the professor.
