A mathematics professor arrived home at 3 am drunk.
His wife was up waiting for him.
"You said you'd be home by 11:45!" she yelled.
He responded, "No my dear, I said I'd be home at a quarter of 12."

Hey, genius! The professor said "a quarter of 12," which he meant to be 15 minutes after 11, or 11:15. But he came home at 3 a.m. He used wordplay to try to trick his wife because he is a drunkard. What a loser!
