Socialist and Capitalist Grading Systems
Standing before the students in his ECON 101 class, the professor announced, “As this is an economics course, I’d like to conduct an economics experiment. First, I will try to simulate communism with the grading system. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade.”
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

I can move, but cannot touch
I can see, but cannot feel
I can hear, but cannot speak
I have thoughts, I cannot say
I am hungry, but cannot eat
I am thirsty, but cannot drink
I am weary, but cannot rest
I am lonely, but cannot love

I would invent a new language just to speak of you
With the loveliest of characters to write of you
I would propound a philosophy to study you
And reveal a religion just to worship you
I would found a new nation to be ruled by you
And create a new world to be home to you
And in all of it, I say, only this is true
That each thing that exists is but a metaphor for you

Get it real cheap, at 3 cents apiece
So stroll on over to your OTC
Just pop that little bluish pill
Oh, yeah, the D-P-HCL
Benadryl, Benadryl
What would I do without Benadryl?
Benadryl, Benadryl
What would I do without Benadryl?
One day in a glass of lemonade
I dropped a Target brand sleep aid
So come on now, cut the shit
Just give Benadryl a hit
I don't believe that I have seen
A better antihistamine
Oh I wish that I could scream
The praise of Diphenhydramine
Benadryl, Benadryl
