A professor was giving a lecture at the university, and right from the start of the explanation, one of the students began to whistle!
The teacher fell silent and said, “Who whistled?”
No one answered!
He continued the explanation, and the student whistled again. The professor fell silent and said, "Who whistled?"
No one responded.
He continued his explanation and the whistling returned a third time!
The teacher put his pen down on the notebook and said, “The lesson is over!!”
But I'm going to tell you a story about myself.
Silence and attentiveness reigned…
One night, I was suffering from insomnia and couldn't sleep. I left the house and got in my car without knowing where to go. As I wandered the streets, I met an old woman carrying a heavy load. I stopped beside her and asked if she needed help. She was delighted. I gave her a lift, and on the way, I realized she knew me very well. Then she looked me in the eyes and said:
“Doctor, I have an illegitimate son studying at your university. I want you to be a support for him.” I said to her, “Okay, can you tell me his name so I can recognize him and do what you ask?” She smiled and said, “You’ll recognize him without me telling you his name; he’s a rowdy boy and he whistles a lot.” All the students then turned toward the one who was whistling!
The professor said to him, “Come here, my boy. You think I got my doctorate at the donkey market!?”
The teacher fell silent and said, “Who whistled?”
