A riddle. Why do students, especially graduate students, (this is told from the faculty member's perspective) need to have two ears?

Hmmm, well no, not quite although having more ears than mouths does justify the answer. (lol) The way I used to put it was "So that anything that goes in one ear can get out the other before it does any damage." Similar sentiment.

Damn. Being a faculty member, as soon as I saw the question I wanted to give exactly this answer, but unfortunately I was late. :lol:
