Mrs. Crabapple one day excites her class by telling them that from that point on, every Thursday she would ask a "question of the week" that, if answered correctly, would exempt the student from class on Friday. All of them eager for a three day weekend, they listen attentively in class the next week. At the end of class on Thursday, Mrs. Crabapple says, "Alright, here's the question of the week: How many drops of water are there in the Atlantic Ocean?" Confused and frustrated, the kids remain silent. The next week the same thing happens. "How many grains of sand are there in Miami Beach?" Again the students remain silent and angry. The third week little Johnny vows that this will not happen. On Thursday Johnny fills his backpack with black racquetballs. Once again the question of the week came at the end of class. "Here is the question of the week:" At that moment Johnny unzipped his backpack and gave it a nudge. Racquetballs spilled out all over the floor, bouncing up the aisles and rolling around the floor. "Dammit!" yelled Mrs. Crabapple. "Who's the comedien with the black balls?!"
"Eddie Murphy," repied little Johnny. "See you on Monday."
