"No, sir," the midshipman replied. "I have no idea what the problem is. I study the Notes I take, and I'm never late to class. I don't even talk in class, but for some reason my professors don't seem to like me.

My classmate replied, "Sir, do you mean at night or in class?"

53.海军军官候补生
我们在美国海军学院军官候补生中有一个同伴,他的学业很差。他到连队军官那儿寻求安慰。“你的成绩糟透了,”军官责备他说,“是否你的学习中存在什么问题?”
“没有哇,先生,”候补生回答说,“我搞不清楚是什么问题。我读我的笔记,上课从不迟到。甚至上课从不讲话,但不知怎么搞的,教授们好像都不喜欢我。”
军官向后一靠,想了想。然后问道:“你睡眠充足吗?”
我同学回答说:“先生,你说的是夜里还是课堂上?”
