At the High School graduation ceremony in Detroit ...
Darqueeze 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 and popular football star and the students held
a rally and demanded that the principal give him a diploma anyway. They were
so insistent that the principal agreed that if Darqueeze could answer one
question correctly, he would give him a diploma.
This 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. Diploma in hand, the
principal said, "Darqueeze, if you can answer this one question correctly,
I'll give you your diploma." "How much is three times seven?"
Darqueeze looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes, pondering the
question. The students began chanting, "Graduate him anyway, graduate him
anyway!"
Then Darqueeze 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 of the students began to chant,
"Give him another chance, give him another chance!"
