Apologies in advance for an esoteric joke. But this is one of my favorites.
***
One night, at a prestigious university the heads of all the departments had a meeting. About halfway through the meeting, there was a flash of brilliant light, and an angel appeared, floating over the table in front of the chair of the philosophy department.
"I will grant you one of the following," she said, "You can have 30 million dollars, unsurpassed good looks, or infinite wisdom."
Of course, being a philosopher, the professor said, "I want infinite wisdom."
"Granted," the angel said and then disappeared in a flash of light.
Though outwardly the same in appearance, those at the meeting agreed that the professor appeared to be somehow transformed.
As the angel's flash of light faded, the professor just sat there, staring off into the distance.
After this had gone on for some time, one of the professor's colleagues prodded him..."Say something!"
And, still staring off into the distance, the professor said... "I shoulda took the money."
