There was once a professor who wanted to go down a river, so he approached a lock boatman who agreed to row him downstream for a small sum of money.
As they wound their way down the river, the professor decides to show off his intelligence and high education so he started to test the simple boatman.
Taking up a stone he had picked up from the riverbank, the professor arrogantly ask the boatman, 'Have u ever studied Geology?' The boatman looks at him blankly and replies, 'Eh....no', hardly even understanding what the word meant.
'Then im afraid 25% of your life is gone!' the professor loftily says. The boatman feels really bad about his ignorance but continues to row on.
As they move further downstream, the river currents begin to get stronger and stronger. The professor picks up a left floating on the river and asks condescendingly, 'Boatman, have u every sutdied Botany?' Confused the poor boatman again say, 'NO'.
The professor shakes his head and says, 'Tsk tsk, then 50% of your life is gone.' He then signals him to carry on rowing. As they move further downstream, the currents get even stronger, the water is moving faster and the boat begins to sway violently.
Suddenly the professor see a mountain range, points to it and asks, 'do u know anything about Geography?' Feeling very inferior and humiliated, the boatman again says 'NO.'
The professor snaps back. 'I thought so. Then 75% of your life is gone!'
At this point, the river has become a raging torrent. The water is moving so swiftly that the boatman loses control of the small boat. Suddenly, the fragile craft smashes against a huge boulder, springs a leak and being to sink.
This time the boatman turn to the professor and asks , 'Professor! Do u know how to swim?' The professor fearfully replies, 'NO!'.
'Then, I am afraid 100% of your life is gone!' says the boatman as he leaps off the boat and powers his way to safety on the shore.
