Down in Jackson, Mississippi, three boys arrived in school late. It was 10:00 a.m. They had been fishing. For their excuse they stated that they were delayed because of a flat tire. The teacher decided to give them a test immediately, so she had them seated apart from one another. She said, “This test will have only one question, and I will give you thirty seconds to put down your answer.” The question was, “Which tire?”
