Ooooh! Story for the Day!

I heard this true story and I thought it was AWESOME!

A guy, let's call him Dave, takes a philosophy class. The teacher gave out an assignment for the day. He presented a chair and told the class to write a paper where the only requirement was the paper couldn't be more than two pages long and said "Convince me that this chair doesn't exist."
The students begin to write.
Dave could see everyone writing as much as they could in the little space provided to explain to their teacher that the chair they see before them does not exist. After a moment, Dave chuckled to himself and wrote down only a few words then turned it in.
Dave left the class with a smile knowing the class must have been confused as to why he finished so quickly. What did Dave write on the paper? Two words, "What chair?"
Dave received an A.
