WHAT'S WHAT

DANNY TELLS THE STORY THAT A PHILOSOPHY TEACHER AT
U. OF D. ASKED THE QUESTION "WHAT IS" ON HIS FINAL
EXAM. THE STUDENTS FILLED UP 3 AND 4 PAGES WRITING
ALL ABOUT BEING AND ESSENCE AND ALL THAT. ONE KID JUST
KIND OF SCRATCHED HIS HEAD AND WROTE "WHAT IS WHAT?"
HE GOT AN "A" ON THE FINAL.

Submitter comment: DAN SAYS THAT HE HEARD THE STORY FROM HIS OLDER BROTHER
A FEW WEEKS EARLIER AND THAT A FRIEND OF HIS BROTHER'S
WAS IN THE VERY CLASS TAKING THE SAME FINAL. THIS
STORY IS TOLD AS TRUE.

Where learned: DRIVING TO SCHOOL
