On the first day of an American history class， the professor assigned7 homework on civil rights.
The next day， he asked one of my classmates to name ten of those rights. When the student made no response， the professor said， “All right. Name five.”
Still the student said nothing. Finally， the professor said angrily， “Just name one right you have as a civilian.”
To a room full of laughter， the student replied， “I have the right to remain silent.”endprint
