History lesson time. In my English class, there was a competition in the class, and whoever won got extra points tacked onto their final grade. It was a combination of bribery, gifts, delinquency, and hilariousness. Some of the funniness is lost two years removed, but, meh. I can't find the original paper, which still had Raistlin in it, but I found the joke paper version that I handed in.
It makes more sense when you know that our English teacher, a white person, and very much not from the hood, was reading this aloud to what was a constituency of mostly black, teenage boys. Edited for security purposes.
