The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

At a college with a questionable reputation, the new dean responded to investigations into the baseball team by immediately suspending any player who wasn't maintaining a passing average. Furious, the coach came storming into the dean's office, followed by one of his star players.

"You can't keep J.B. from playing!" the coach roared. "We won't win this weekend without him!"

"I don't care," the dean said. "Things have gotten out of hand at this college, and on my watch, we're turning this thing around."

"What do you mean, 'out of hand'?" the coach demanded.

"I'll show you precisely what I mean," the dean said. He turned to the baseball player and said, "Tell me, J.B., how much is six times seven?"

The player pondered for several seconds. Then he grinned and said, "Uh, thirty-one?"

The dean turned to the coach and said, "I rest my case."
