I took a celestial navigation course about 10 years ago. 45 students started the course. 3 people showed up for the final exam. I know 2 of us passed.

Funniest part of it was my attempt to buy a sextant at a pawnshop in Denver. Called all of them unsuccessfully, but this was the best reply:

Me: Do you have a sextant for sale?

Clerk: Sorry sir, we don't have any tents at all.
