13. Very Machiavellian
Sat Apr 5, 2025, 12:14 AM
Apr 5

A Professor, two weeks before semester's end, says
“I want y’all to write one more paper. Due Monday.”
Class moans and groans.
“That's too much “
“Give us more time “
“We have other classes”
“It’s not in the syllabus”

After a few minutes of this,
Professor scratches his head, shrugs, and says,
“Okay, then. You don’t have to write the paper.”

The class laughs and cheers.
“Thank you, thank you!”
They love the Professor.

Topic of the paper?
“Machiavellianism”
