    “I didn’t know what to do for my project so I brought in a paper cup filled with dirt just hoping that she’d know I’m an idiot and just walk right on past me just as long as I was holding something.

    “What do you have there, Brian?”

    “It’s a cup of dirt. Just put an ‘F’ on it there and let me go home.”

    “Well, explain it.”

    “Well, it’s a cup with dirt in it. I call it ‘Cup of Dirt.’ You should move on now. Just go ahead and move on. Head on down the line there.”
