I heard a variation on this in which the final exam had a single question:

"Why?"

And the answer receiving the A was:

"Why not?"

I wrote a play in Brazil once (it is still in Portuguese) where my favorite line in it was:

I think, therefore you exist.
(Penso, logo você existe.)

Maybe reality being one thing and my consciousness being another is not a bad arrangement after all...
