Reader's Digest 7/8月合併号のジョーク特集から
Nutty Professors
A mathematician wanders home at 3 a.m., and his irate wife yells, "You 're late! You said you'd be home by 11:45!"
"Actually," the mathematician replies, "I said I'd be home by a quarter of 12."
確かに11:45なら 'a quarter to 12'ですね。数学の教授が妻に言ったのは 'a quarter of 12'なので '12/4' = ３時でした。
