One day a Dean at a local college was complaining to

a Professor in the Physics Department, "All your lab equipment and testing materials is way too expensive. Why can't you be more like the math department?"

Physics Prof: "How so?"

Dean: "All they need is paper, pencils and erasers. Come to think of it why can't you be more like the Philosophy Department. They don't even need erasers."
