The Tough Professor

A professor was asked to be an advisor on a university student's
dissertation. He accepted the request with delight. All proceeded well
and on the date the paper was due, the student delivered a beautiful
bound copy of his report to the professor.

Two months went by and the student hadn't heard a word, so he went to
the professors office and asked him what he thought of the paper.

"Well," said the professor, "I think it needs to be redone."

Although dejected, the student decided to take another try at the
report.

Two months later, the student delivered the new version to his
professor.

Another month went by, without him hearing a word. Again, the student
went to see the professor, and again was told the paper had to be redone.

Now totally beside himself, the student went back to the drawing board
and rewrote the paper for a third time.

Two months later, he returned to the professor's office with the new
term paper in hand and said to him, "I've re-researched and rewritten to
the extent that I've left no stone unturned and no thought unanalyzed.
There is just nothing more I can do."

"OK," said the professor, "I guess I will read this one."
