One of the questions on the final exam given by a local college professor was: "Please define journalism." The answer from one student: "Soup of the day."

Explained the prof: "During the class, I have used the French word jour for 'day' to help define 'journalism,' but I guess the student was a little anxious during the test."

Anxious, confused about the definition of "jour" or not, the student's answer seems quite apt!
