To share a response that I found humorous with my colleagues, with the hope that they will find it humorous as well. By no means am I assuming or implying that the student who wrote the response is stupid. My best guess is that he or she simply didn't attend class the day we discussed the topic, nor did he or she read the relevant section in the textbook. Hence, a funny answer. That's it.
 
Thanks Louis, I am trying to make it a good day.
