Category: Absent Minded Professor A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY It was late at night when the professor arrived in the strange town. He took a taxi to the only hotel, but was told that there are no rooms available. Still, the night clerk had a suggestion: “At what time do you intend to check out?” - he asked. “Quite early,” - answered the educator. “I have to catch the 6:00 a.m. train.” “Then I could put you up in Room 201. A priest took the room an hour ago, but he looked so tired, that he is probably fast asleep by now. If you keep quiet, he won’t even notice that someone is sharing the room with him.” The professor took the room, settled his bill in advance and asked to be awakened at 5 o’clock in the morning. He undressed in darkness and at dawn when the clerk knocked on his door did not switch on the light. In the dark room and in his haste, he put on the priest’s clothes. The porter summoned a taxi for the professor and it was only at the railway station, when he happened to look into a mirror, that he noticed his mistake. “Look at those fools,”- exclaimed the exasperated professor. “They woke up the priest instead of me!” If you enjoy my jokes, please recommend this webpage to your friends!
