Lesson at the Cesspool

A teacher, a professor, and a student walked up to a cesspool. The student asked, "What do we do now?" The professor proclaimed, "you will have to jump in, do your best to learn to float, and hopefully if you paid close attention to my lectures then you can make it across and get out on the other side."

The student was about to reluctantly jump in. The teacher held the student back, but for good reason. "Wait" the teacher said, "Soon the season will change and it will freeze solid, then you can walk across it easily".

The moral to the story... It is better to help others walk on water than it is to make them feel like shit.
