In class, we all tend to rely on others when we get called on and don't know the answer.

Today, I was betrayed.

My friend whispered to me that the answer to a particular question was "dirt."

So I shouted "Dirt!" Professor looked confused. In an effort to save face I scrambled to find a suitable answer. So I added, "And sticks!"

As you can probably guess, "Dirt! And sticks!" was not the correct answer. Class erupted in laughter. The answer, for those who are interested was "A full transfer of interest."

I think I should get some credit here, I was close.
