Reminds me of the story Bennett Cerf told of the philosophy professor who had a real dolt in his class. He decided that if the dolt could not correctly answer correctly the next question directed at him, he would throw him out with a failing grade. So he called on this guy as follows:

"Mr. Jones, can you tell me the name of the important German philosopher who wrote 'The Critique of Pure Reason?'"

Mr. Jones responded, "Professor, I can't."

The professor sighed and went on with his lecture.
