    Long ago, and now far away, I often would place a question on a test or quiz designed to see the student's response to something off topic.

    For example:

    On a test over doctrines, I might slip in: Can you explain the importance of the Monroe Doctrine?

    A music teacher I knew would slip into a test on composers: How do you spell Tchaikovsky?

    A biology teacher I knew would ask: Do the ravioli get too dry when too much air is taken into the lungs?

    So, you get the idea.

    I know that some of you are (or were) not teachers, but perhaps you can think of a professor who had a sense of humor and would be amused when including such non-point question.

    If so, what was the question?

    Can you think of the response others had when some answer was exposed as laughable?

    What remarks might you remember that were left on a paper that was given back to you?

    There are no wrong answers on this thread.

    It is meant to be thoroughly enjoyable.

    Those who want to study this matter for Scripture support, need to consider that verse found in Hezekiah 2 where Isaiah ask, "What was it they wanted?"
