A story around campus has it that a student once sent a telegram to his parents reading： “Mom—flunked all courses. Kicked out of school. Prepare Daddy.”

Two days later he received a response：“Daddy prepared. Prepare yourself.”

校園里流传着这样的故事：一个学生一次给父母拍了一份电报，上面写着：“妈妈——我所有功课都不及格，被学校开除。让爸爸做好准备。”

两天以后，他收到了回电：“爸爸已准备好。你自己做好准备吧！”
