One day, Jimmy got up and went to school. However, by the time he got there, he was late. Jimmy's teacher met him at the door and said "Hey Jimmy!" (Because everyone knows Jimmy!). "Jimmy, you’re late, so now you have to take a pop quiz." Jimmy said, "Alright, what's the question?"
"What is the Capital of Beubaton?"
Jimmy was puzzled. "I don't know what the capital of Beubaton is."
His teacher yelled, "You don't know what the capital of Beubaton is? Everyone knows what the capital of Beubaton is!" and sent him to the principals office.
After waiting a while in the office, the principal pokes out his head and says, "Hey Jimmy (because everyone knows Jimmy!)! What are you doing here today?"
Jimmy said, "Well, I came to school today, but I was late. So my teacher gave me a pop quiz. I wasn’t able to answer the question, so now she sent me here!"
"Well, why couldn't you answer the question, Jimmy?"
Jimmy swallowed loudly. "I don't know what the capital of Beubaton is."
The principal's eyes bulged. "You don't know what the capital of Beubaton is? Everyone knows what the capital of Beubaton is!" And he promptly called Officer Bill.
Soon, Officer Bill came in. "Hey Jimmy (because everyone knows jimmy!)! Jimmy, why have I been called to your school today?"
Jimmy said, "I came to school today, but I was late, so my teacher gave me a pop quiz. However, I wasn't able to answer the question. She sent me to the principal's office, and now he called you!"
Officer Bill asked, "Why couldn’t you answer the question, Jimmy?"
Jimmy looked scared. "Because I don't know what the Capital of Beubaton is."
Officer Bill nearly had a heart attack. "You don't know what the capital of Beubaton is? Everyone knows what the capital of Beubaton is!" And sent him to the city court.
Jimmy entered the court, and the judge pounded his gavel. He looked at Jimmy and said, "Hey, Jimmy (because everyone knows Jimmy!)! Jimmy, why are you in my court again. Haha, I'm just kidding."
Jimmy looked of and said, "I went to school today but I was late, so my teacher gave me a pop quiz. However, I wasn't able to answer the question. She sent me to the principal's office, the principal called Officer Bill, and now he sent me here!"
"Well, Why could you not answer the question, Jimmy?"
Jimmy cringed. "I don't know what the capital of Beubaton is."
The judge's glasses fell off. "You don't know what the capital of Beubaton is? Everyone knows what the capital of Beubaton is!" And as this was out of his hands, Jimmy was sent to the Supreme Court.
Jimmy walked up the stairs into the court. The justices looked down on him and said "Hey, Jimmy (because everyone knows Jimmy!)! Jimmy, why have you been sent here?"
Jimmy sighed. "I went to school today but I was late, so my teacher gave e me a pop quiz. I wasn't able to answer the question, so she sent me to the principal's office. The principal called Officer Bill, officer bill sent me to the city court, and now the city court sent me here!"
"Why couldn't you answer the question Jimmy?"
Jimmy rolled his eyes. "I don't know what the capital of Beubaton is."
Two of the Justices had strokes. "You don't know what the capital of Beubaton is? Everyone knows what the capital of Beubaton is!" And convened in the back room to make a decision and eat pizza.
After a while, they came out again and proclaimed this: "Jimmy, because you are likely the only person on the planet who does not know what the capital of Beubaton is, you will be thrown into the ocean where sharks will eat you and nobody will ever find your remains."
So Jimmy was loaded up into the boat and set off for his final journey. Nearly Half way there, he had an Idea. "Wait, I can just jump off the boat and swim back to shore before these people can throe me into the middle of the ocean where sharks will eat me and nobody will ever find my remains!"
So Jimmy jumped off the boat and began to swim back toward shore. As he was doing this however, a dark shadow appeared below him. It soon rushed out in front of him and emerged from the water. It was the world's largest Great white Shark, I t looked down on poor Jimmy with one beady, mean eye and said: "Hey, Jimmy (because everyone knows Jimmy!)! What are you doing out here in the ocean.
Jimmy took a deep breath. "I went to school today but was late, so my teacher gave me a pop quiz. I wasn't able to answer the question, so she sent me to the principal's office. The principal called Officer Bill, Officer Bill sent me to the city court, the city court sent me to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court ordered that I should be thrown into the ocean where sharks will eat me and nobody will ever find my remains. However, I jumped off the boat and started to swim back to shore, and now I'm here!"
"Why weren't you able to answer the question, Jimmy?"
Jimmy heaved a heavy sigh. "I don't know what the capital of Beubaton is."
The shark looked angry. "You don't know what the capital of Beubaton is? Everyone knows what the capital of Beubaton is!" and tried to eat him.
Jimmy was swimming away from the shark, who was catching up fast. Then, he saw an island nearby. On the beach there was a sign the sign read: 'WELCOME TO BEUBATON'. And across the beach, across the street, and across the sidewalk there was an information booth.
"This is great!" thought Jimmy. "Now I can just go across the sand, across the street, and across the sidewalk to the information booth and ask what the capital is!"
So Jimmy escaped the water, crossed the beach, and as he was crossing the street he was hit by a car and died.
