According to the Internet: Students in a Harvard English 101 class were asked to write a concise essay containing four elements: religion, royalty, sex, and mystery.

The only A+ in the class read: "My God," said the Queen, "I'm pregnant! I wonder who did it?"

Two men were walking on a sidewalk towards each other. One was draging his left foot the other his right. When they passed one said to the other" What happened to you?" He replied"Vietnam 1970" He then asked the the other man"How about you?" " Dog S--- about two blocks back."

"Oh, no!" he gasped as he surveyed the disaster before him. Never in his 40 years of life had he seen anything like it. How anyone could have survived he did not know. He could only hope that somewhere amid the overwhelming destruction he would find his 16-year old son. Only the slim hope of finding Danny kept him from turning and fleeing the scene.

He took a deep breath and proceeded. Walking was virtually impossible with so many things strewn across his path. He moved ahead slowly. "Danny! Danny!" he whispered to himself. He tripped and almost fell several times.

He heard someone, or something, move. At least he thought he did. Perhaps he was just hoping he did. He shook his head and felt his gut tighten. He couldn't understand how this could have happened.

There was some light but not enough to see very much. Something cold and wet brushed against his hand. He jerked it away. In desperation, he took another step, then cried out, "Danny!" From a nearby pile of unidentified material, he heard his son.

"Yes, Dad," he said, in a voice so weak it could hardly be heard.

"It's time to get up and get ready for school," the man sighed, "and for heaven's sake, clean up this room!"
