A professor of organic biology stood before his class of senior students, about to hand out the final exam.
"I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this semester," he announced. "I know you've all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to medical school after summer. So I've decided that, to make sure none of you get your GPAs messed up because you might have been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the course."
There was much rejoicing in the class as students got up, walked to the front of the class, and took the professor up on his offer.
As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, "Anyone else? This is your last chance." One final student rose up and opted out of the final.
The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining. "I'm glad to see you all believe in yourselves," he said. "You all get 'A's."

This must have happened at Lake Wobegon, where all the students are above average.
Actually, this professor reminds me of George W. Bush, who looked into the eyes of Vladimir Putin and "got a sense of his soul." Or maybe he's just lazy.
Maybe he's lazy... but he's also got some impressive wisdom.
Makes me think of Gregory House, M.D.
That could result in a principled idiot getting an A instead of failing. :)
