Quick Exam Joke

[Ashton Lawson]

A boy is going through his exam and finally reaches the last question:

What is courage?

The boy writes: 'This.'
Signs the paper, turns it in, and walks out the door.

LOL!!!

I would like to deflate this joke, and mark it as truth!! The guy who did this was an Australian student in New South Wales completing his HSC exam (The exam to finish school). The question was as stated BUT had a large minimum word limit. His real answer was "This is Courage". During the marking there was a huge uproar about wether to give him full marks, because he did show courage well, or to give him no marks, because he didn't reach the word limit. In the end he got full marks. Needless to say, they never asked a question like that again.

Good joke, but what an idiotic exam board.  ::) Don't think much of qualifications that give full marks for such rubbish. I'd have given him 1 mark - a token submission.
