re: BMW gives away car in "reverse" April Fools joke

Before every exam I ever took in College, the professor would always ask "Are there any questions?"

I'd always ask "Can I use my textbook?" or sometimes "Can we work in groups?" Why? Because you never know.

The textbook thing worked several times. I kept all my notes in my books. The group thing worked once.

Had Paul Britt for Calc I and II. By the end of II, he started every test with "No Mr. Prez, you can't work in groups."

You never know what you'll get if you ask.
