Even certain professors, who are supposed to be immune from commercial
inducements are sometimes financially overcautious. A party of tourists
were watching Professor X as he exhumed the wrapt body of an ancient
Egyptian.
"Judging from the utensils about him," remarked the professor, "this
mummy must have been an Egyptian plumber."
"Wouldn't it be interesting," said a romantic young lady, "if we could
bring him to life?"
"Interesting, but a bit risky," returned Professor X. "Somebody might
have to pay him for his time."
