Just Another Day In School... #1

It was just another lecture marking the start of the school semester and the lecturer was doing his job at the front of the lecture hall.

A non-local student sitting in front of me cannot find the page in his notes to match what he sees on the projector screen. He flips frantically, back and forth, and glances all around him in hope of getting a clue of which page he should be at (he was not late for the lecture, if that's what you're thinking).

He glances back at me. I ignore him and look up and away from him. His two friends to the left and right of him were quiet. The 3 of them were huddled around this single set of notes.

He flips back and forth again, and finally, he turns around and pops the question, "Do you know which page he's (lecturer) at now?"

I gave him a straight face and told him, "I don't know. I'm copying down everything on the screen."

He gives up, and turns back around.
