Spoken By Picasso

(In high school history class we often play a trivia quiz game called “geography football.” In this game, it’s often better to give a wrong answer to a question than no answer, which often results in people giving completely off-the-wall answers. The teacher likes to tell the class about some of the dumber answers people have given in the class.)

Teacher: *reading a question from a card* “What is the official language of Cuba?”

Student: “Spanish?”

Teacher: “Correct! Spanish!” *under his breath* “Not ‘cubism.'”
