If there are two idiots in the room

If there are two idiots in the room, please stand up . . .”

The sarcastic teacher said this before surveying the room with a smarmy smile.

After a long silence, a lone student stands up in the middle of the classroom.

“I honestly didn’t expect anyone to stand up.

Mister, why do you consider yourself and an idiot?” The teacher asks this with a sneer.

“Well actually, I don’t think I am,” the student replied timidly, “but it didn’t seem right to let you stand up alone.”
