[00:01.44]Lesson 40

[00:03.57]Who's who

[00:11.85]How did the policeman discover that the whole thing was a joke?

[00:18.59]It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else.

[00:26.36]Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax.

[00:31.94]Inviting the fire brigade to put out a nonexistent fire

[00:35.87]is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulde in.

[00:41.90]Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims.

[00:49.55]When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university,

[00:56.51]he immediately telephoned the police

[00:58.67]and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen

[01:02.33]were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill.

[01:05.59]As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen

[01:09.08]and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away,

[01:12.70]they were not to take him seriously.

[01:15.42]He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people.

[01:22.15]Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information.

[01:28.46]The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on.
