There were two students who would be having a final examination the following day.  These two boys are consistent top students of the class, and being so, instead of studying and preparing for the exam, that very night, they went out with their friends and partied the whole night.  The next morning, both of them woke up late so they rushed up to the bathroom, dressed up as quickly as they can and went to school.  Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the exam was over and so they pleaded for a special examination.  The teacher said, if they could give her good reason for their coming late for the exam, she might as well consider giving them a special exam. And so, one of the boys said, it was because the vehicle they were in had a flat tire adn so they had to stop over so the driver could fix it.  The other boy agreed to what his friend had said with matching pitiful look on his face.  And so, the teacher decided to give them the exam, provided that they would take it in separate rooms.  The teacher also said, she's going to give them just one question, if they answer it correctly, they would get an A, otherwise, they would fail.   The two were so relieved, anyway they didn't have to study for the exam because they thought it would just be a piece of cake for them and there's no big deal if they had to take it in separate rooms, anyway, both of them are smart.  So they were now ready to answer their exam, the one-question exam.  And the question was.....

 

1. Which tire?

hmmm... so, did they pass or fail? Wink [;)] hehehe..

God sometimes allows us to feel pain in order for us to appreciate the mere comfort of just being ok.

hmm, if they can't use cell phones... or communicate in any other way, then there is a 25% probability, I guess. And considering that they don't seem to be very lucky and their teacher seems to be a <insert the word you expected to read here>, they are going to fail for sure.
So, do I win? Smile [:)]
