The Professor A professor at Oxford University is retiring after a brilliant career spanning several decades. At the farewell dinner, all his fellow professors and colleagues gather to congratulate him, thank him for his service, and give rousing speeches about how great his contribution to the University and the world has been. Someone proposes a toast, and just as they begin, there's a flash of light accompanied by divine music, and ... there in front of the gathering is an Angel from heaven. Turns out that the gods have also been impressed by the professor. The Angel turns to the professor and says "Sir, you have been an exceptional human being and an inspirational teacher. As a mark of appreciation from the gods themselves, I have been asked to grant you a Wish: you can choose between Infinite Wisdom and Infinite Wealth. Speak, sir, what would you have?" Without hesitating, the professor chooses Infinite Wisdom. "So be it", says the Angel, waves a wand, and then vanishes. A dim halo appears around the professor's head. The gathering has been stunned into silence by all this. Finally someone finds the voice to speak, and tells the professor "well... say something". The professor says, "I should have taken the money".
