franklin: excuse me, professor? professor: who are you? franklin: i'm franklin. i missed class last week. i ... i forgot when classes started professor: don't worry about it! you'll just have to make up the quiz we took last week franklin: phew! professor: you can come in tomorrow and take it during my other class professor: if you'd like, you can even take the test at my apartment professor: there's this nice picnic table you could use right outside my window professor: i can keep an eye on you while you take the test that way! franklin: no. that's... that's ok

this is a true story. i once had to take a make-up exam and my professor suggested the same things as the prof from this comic.
