Not that I have discovered. I think the big problem is that when you
hear it so often, you don't want to be reminded of it!

Probably the most stupid person I've had was during a powercut.

Student: "why are all the lights off?"
Me: "the power is out at the moment"
Student: "so does that mean I cannot take anything out?"
Me: "that's right, because none of our computers are working"
Student: "oh in that case can you just check my record for any overdue
books
I might have?"

How I keep a straight face during these exchanges is beyond me ;)
