A student in a 300 year old university is taking a test when he makes a strange request.
He raises his hand, the teacher acknowledges him.
“I request and requires cakes and ale.”
The teacher is confounded. “What?”
“I request and requires cakes and ale.”
“No. Finish your test.”
The student continues, holding up a book: “I’m sorry sir, in the school handbook, it very clearly states that if a student is sitting for an exam, and he requests and requires cakes and ale, that such shall be provided for him.”
The teacher takes a look, acknowledges the truth of the student’s words, and with soda and a snack cake being the most readily available, the student is satisfied.
The next week, the student was suspended for not wearing his sword to class.
