But if exceptions prove the rule, then may examinations claim to afford a very rich fund of ludicrous incidents. One of the frequent causes of humor at examinations is of course the ignorance of candidates. A person was once asked the question at an Oxford examination, "Who was Esau?" "Esop," said he, "was a man who wrote fables, and who sold the copyright to a publisher for a bottle of potash!" Another student was asked to give some account...
