A college student (don't know his name) in a short Readers Digest piece is a hard act to follow.
The philosophy tutor held up a pencil to the class and said- "I want you to write an essay about this pencil, go!"
He gathered in the essays at the end of the lesson and gave top marks to the student whose essay consisted of just two words-
"What pencil?"

My favorite has always been Karl Popper, but not sure he was that "great".
