A Magnificent Display of Genius

Today in class I witnessed the brilliance of a man under duress. Sitting in my class on the Synoptic Gospels we went around the entire class with each student illuminating a historical contextual issue that's relevant to the book of Luke. I mean, we're talking Herodian dynasty, rich vs. poor and so on. With five minutes left in the session there are only two of us remaining. The professor turns to my new hero & asks what he learned in prepping the contextual issue. Hero says, "Can I ask a different question real quick?" Upon receiving the affirmative response, Hero replies with, "When did women start shaving their legs?" WHAT?!?! Collectively we dissolve into laughter and class ends. Walking alongside him I had to know, "What made you think to ask that?!" and he says... "Actually, I just didn't do the homework and didn't have any information to present." The level of creative intellect in action so impressed me I think I'll never do homework again. Just kidding - I'll do homework, but it will be in memory of the most amazing display of emergency wit I've ever witnessed.
