Why my smoking habit proves you can’t believe a word the b******s tell you

My late father always attributed his dazzling double-first degree in History to the fact that he was the only undergraduate in his year at Cambridge who was allowed to smoke during his exams.
This was because he was blind, and he sat his papers in a separate room from all the other candidates so that his braille machine wouldn’t disturb them.
He told me that when his invigilator asked: “Do you mind if I smoke?”, he replied: “Not a bit - if I can too.” So the deal was done.
