Al Capp, creator of the famous comic strip Lil Abner, was one day
invited to a university to give a lecture to the students. Before
he could begin speaking to the large group assembled in the auditorium,
an unkempt-looking student at the back shouted a vulgar word at him.
The word hung in the air as an uncomfortable silence lasted but a
moment... Capp, keeping his cool, quipped, "Now that you've given us
your name, what IS your question?"
