Buy me a coffee?
It all started with a wrong turn. Alex, a literature major with a knack for sarcasm, found himself wandering through the labyrinthine halls of the university. He was late for his “Philosophy of Humour” class and accidentally ended up in a room filled with serious-looking students in lab coats, clutching stethoscopes like lifelines.
Too embarrassed to leave once he realized the mistake, Alex quietly sat down, thinking he’d just wait it out. Then the professor announced, “Welcome to your medical final exam. No notes, no talking. Just your wits and your knowledge of medicine.”
Alex froze. He couldn’t exactly get up and walk out now—it would be too obvious he wasn’t supposed to be there. So, he picked up the exam paper, armed with nothing but creativity and a pen.

The Aftermath
When the professor finally read Alex’s exam, he couldn’t help but laugh. He called Alex to his office, not to scold him, but to commend him for bringing some much-needed humour into the world of medicine. Though Alex didn’t pass the exam (obviously), he learned an important lesson that day.
Moral of the Story
In life, when you’re in over your head, don’t panic—get creative. Humour might not always be the answer to your problems, but it sure makes the journey a lot more enjoyable. And who knows? A little laughter might just be the best medicine after all.
