The rest of the worksheet had ridiculous directions like 'draw 3 circles on the bottom right of this paper' and 'clap your hands and say 'yes yes yes', and the very last instruction was 'Do none of the above except for #1'.
I was one of the few who actually read all the directions. It was pretty funny at the time. It would be even funnier now with students my age, because I know just as many wouldn't follow the instructions right. (Sadly enough.)
