            High School Graduation In Detroit
             
            A student played high school football in
              Detroit . He was a great running back, but a really poor student.
             
            At graduation, he didn't have enough credits.
            But he was a great football star and the
            students held a rally and demanded the principal
            give him a diploma anyway. They were so
            insistent that the principal agreed if Dwayne
            could answer one question correctly he would give him a diploma.
             
            The one question test was held in the auditorium
            and all the students packed the place. It was standing room only.
             
            The principal was on the stage and told him to
            come up. The principal had the diploma in his
            hand and said, "Dwayne, if you can answer this
            question correctly I'll give you your diploma."
            He said he was ready and the principal asked him
            the question. "Dwayne," he said, "How much is three times seven?"
             
            He looked up at the ceiling and then down at his
            shoes, just pondering the question. The other
            students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway! Graduate him  anyway!"
             
            Then he held up his hand and the auditorium
            became silent. he said, "I think......... I know
            the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one."
             
            A hush fell over the auditorium and all the
            other students began another chant.........
            Give him another chance!...... Give him another chance!"
