Some students were watching the chemistry professor give a demonstration of
the properties of various acids.

"Now," said the professor, "I'm going to drop this silver dollar in a glass
of acid. Will it dissolve?"

"No, sir," answered one of the students.

"No?" repeated the prof. "Then perhaps you can explain to the class why it
won't dissolve."

"Because," the student said, "if the silver dollar would dissolve, you
wouldn't drop it in."
