The Dean

An angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the
Dean of Languages that
in return for his unselfish and exemplary behavior,
the Lord will reward
him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom, or
beauty. Without
hesitating, the dean selects infinite wisdom.
"Done!" says the angel, and
disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of
lightning. Now, all heads turn
toward the dean, who sits surrounded by a faint halo
of light. One of his
colleagues whispers to him, "Say something..." The
Dean sighs and says, "I
should have taken the fucking money."
