DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

A student sat through an exam. The teacher supervising said time up but still the student carried on. The teacher said; "Hand your exam paper in now or I'm not going to accept it." Still the student carried on.

Thirty minutes later the student got up and stood before the teacher. The teacher looked at him and said; "I am not going to accept your paper. It is late".

The student looked the teacher in the eye and said; "Do you know who I am?"

The teacher replied "No, and I don't really care!"

For a second time the student said; "Do you know who I am?"

For a second the teacher replied "No!"

The student replied; "Good!" He then lifted the stack of exams, stuffed his paper in the middle, and ran out of the room.
