Q. Give the meaning of the term ‘Caesarean Section’. A. The Caesarean section is a district in Rome.
Q. What is the fibula? A. A small lie.
Q. What are steroids? A. Things for keeping carpets still on the stairs.
Now if you were marking you might consider ending it. The next one might have you actually looking for a cliff.
Q. How are the main twenty parts of the body categorized (eg the abdomen)? A. The body is consisted into three parts. The brainium, the borax and the abdominal cavity. The brainium contains the brain, the borax contains the heart and lungs and the abdominal cavity contains the five bowels – A,E,I,O,U.
At this stage do you the marker fade away in exasperation or simply write a big F?
