Ok, satire much?

 

This one made me LOL:

 

"Existentialism and the Absurd: Prepare a skit based on Albert Camus’s “The Stranger,†Jean-Paul Sartre’s “No Exit†or Andre Malraux’s “Man’s Fate.†Discuss the basic futility of life with your local Cub Scout troop. Help a little old lady across the street, then push her to the curb for no reason. Take a drag on a Gauloise cigarette, crumple the remainder of the pack and throw it to the ground while gazing grimly at the horizon and adjusting your beret."

 

So many hours spent reading Sartre and Camus in college...
