Dear Friends of the Pub Quiz,
Once my gutsy friend Bob was taking a midterm exam in his Eastern Religions class. Although he was well-prepared to answer all the questions, after a moment of contemplation, he wrote only the following:
“Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.” Lao Tzu, Tao Teh Ching
And then he submitted his exam. He earned a B.
Was it deserved?
Thanks for the inspiration, Bob.
