Last Exam

Two University students were taking an important final exam. If they failed, they would be booted out of the University. The exam was fill-in-the-blank. The last question read, "Obasanjo is a _________."

Jide was confused. He had no idea of the answer. He knew he needed to get this one right to be sure he passed. Making sure the professor wasn't watching, he tapped Kwame on the shoulder.

"Pssst. Kwame. What's the answer to the last question?"

Kwame laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor hadn't noticed then he turned to Jide.

"Jide, you're so stupid. Everyone knows Obasanjo is a farmer."

"Oh yeah," said Jide. "I remember now." He picked up his pencil and started to write the answer in the blank. He stopped.

Reaching to tap Kwame's shoulder again, he whispered, "Kwame, how do you spell farmer?"

"You are really dumb, Jide. That's so easy. Farmer is spelled E-I-E-I-O."
