[ WP ] You answered that giraffes were extinct on a school test , and failed the test by one point . Instead of retaking the test , you 've decided to take it upon yourself to make your answer correct .

I look at my professor in the eye and can just see the lack of knowledge inside of him. Slowly, I stand up and approach him. 
 
 “ Sir you ’ ve made a mistake. ” 
 
 Silence. 
 
 I try again, “ Sir- “ 
 
 “ I heard you the first time. ” He replies in a dull tone. 
 
 Silence. I awkwardly stand next to his table while he continues flicking through a magazine. When he ’ s finally done, he looks up and sighs. 
 
 “ Now, what is it that you think is so important for you to bother me? ” 
 
 Now it was my turn to be silent. 
 
 “ I just thought th- “ 
 
 He cuts across me. “ Oh, you THOUGHT that it was necessary to disturb me? ” 
 I stay silent for a while not sure if he ’ s waiting for a response. I let a few minutes ’ pass before I answer. 
 
 “ Actually, it was not a thought but it was more of a fact. ” 
 
 I look at him and he stares back, not saying a word. I KNEW I was ahead now. But I wasn ’ t going to be risk being cut again. Suddenly, I slap my hands on his desk and lean forward. 
 
 “ You marked question 23 on my paper wrong even though I know I was right. ” I say holding up my test. I continue, “ My answer clearly states that giraffes are, in fact, extinct. ” 
 
 Suddenly he starts smiling. 
 
 “ Ok, you know what? Explain to me how I am wrong, no, how the world is wrong in saying that they aren ’ t extinct? ” He says in a sarcastic tone. 
 I ’ m not sure if he ’ s serious but I realize I don ’ t really care anymore. I take a deep breath. “ So, this is how it all went down. It was midnight, the zoos were all closed. Every visitor was gone except three Americans and they were working for the government. Anyway, they had everything planned, they were going to attack from the North. They ventured through the zoo and found the cage of the giraffe. However, this was no ordinary giraffe it was the mother of all giraffes. So, they knew that if they killed this one they would all die. Now you may be think why would they want to kill all the giraffes? Well it was simple. They were on this mission because a giraffe and broken in to the white house and was impossible to move or kill. So, it was an easy solution to their problem. Kill the mother of giraffes. Anyway, they sneaked in and butchered the giraffe while she was asleep. ” 
 
 I was done with my story and looked at my professor again. Without a word, he grabbed my test and crossed out the large B and replaced it with a C. Then he looked up and he was grinning from ear to ear. 
 
 “ This is why you never disagree with a teacher. ” He said as he gave me back my paper. I couldn ’ t believe it! 
 
 “ Sir I think you are about to go extinct! ” I yelled. 
 
 Everything after that was a blur. All I know is that when I woke up I was handcuffed and behind bars…
