THE CRIME

When he was a student at Harvard. Robert Benchley was once asked on an exam to discuss the international law of the North American Fisheries case. He wrote in his blue book: "I know nothing of the North American Fisheries and less about international law, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll give you the fishes' point of view." He did, and his blue book was so funny that the professor gave him a passing grade. --Christian Science Monitor
