Question: what's the 2nd most unreliable way to judge a person's knowledge?

Ans: Look at his GCE O-Level results

The most unreliable way is to look at his A Levels.

To all of you uneducated, and iliterate people out there, the GCE (or 'General Certificate of Education' A Level exams are forced upon almost all the 18 yr olds every year. These young people are generally harmless, have no criminal record and have never done nobody no wrong, so no one really knows why they have to suffer such an unpleasant fate.

To Singapore parents, the GCE examinations are also affectionately nown as 'Get Chicken Essence' exams. This is because , on the eve of important papers, we can often find many mothers forcing their children's jaw open with iron rodes and pouring many litres of these dark liquid down the throats. This is done in the hope that somehow their sons and daughters' IQs will shoot up overnight.

Recently, however, newspapers reported that a significant minority of students have managed to pass their exams without the aid of this drink. This news caused much rejoicing in the local chicken community. The successful students had attributed their success to more unorthodox means (eg. studying)

In Singapore, the O and A Level exams are usually held in Novermber and December. The exam scripts are then bound up and sealed in the presence of officials, security guards and armed Ninja warriors before being sent to the United Kingdom for marking.
