this actually happened at IM Ahmadabad during the interviews with the future candidates of the college.
as students walked in,expecting to be questioned thoroughly, all they got was this.
the interviewer asked them, "why?"
some started with "because..." and proceeded by telling him why they thought they were a suitable candidate for the college. to this he would say, "that was not my question. you may leave."
one instance a student gave him the background of the word 'why' and it's pronunciation and he told the student, "i have English lecturers who can do what you just did,but they do it much better though. Please leave."
after all the interviews were over he came to the students and said, "why?" they looked at each other puzzled as to what this man wanted as an answer.
he looked at them and said, "when someone asks you why, your reply should be, why not."
And he walked away.
note: do not at anytime try and justify to anyone why u are who you are and do not at any time try to justify what you are doing. if they ask you what u are doing tell them. if they ask why...
well you know what to say...

Why? Why not? :an old Shavian way of understanding life. Do you know that could justify anything under this sun? From love to violence. Why? Why not? Both are interesting questions to answer! All questions are interesting to answer. Witty post!
