"Give me a good reason,"
the exasperated gangster-father
quizzes his son,
"why you flunked your school exams"
"Well, dad," says the spoiled brat
*"they locked us all up in a hall
and they asked us questions
five days in a row -
but all five days I never
gave them a word
Everybody else - the cowards -
spilled the beans!"*
