A final exam from in hydraulics from Prof Ilio: It started to rain when we walked Prof from the house to the church. Then it stopped for 2 hours while we were inside the church for the ceremonies. It rained again when we walked him from the church to the cemetery. He was a hydraulics professor and probably could not resist giving us a final exam in hydraulics. We passed the test because it did not rain afterwards. |
