When
Rupert was in high school, his desire to
experiment with various instruments led him
to the music room and trying to learn the
saxaphone. He could already play a few
instruments including the clarinet, but
Rupert wanted an instrument more likely to be
included in a rock band. After two months of
practicing the saxaphone, a very angry
teacher stormed in the room and dragged him
into his math class, exclaiming that this was
the "idiot" who has been
interrupting the class for the past few
months. As a punishment, the teacher forced
Rupert to play in front of the class in an
attempt to embarass him. Instead, Rupert
started playing "Twist And Shout"
to the class and received a standing ovation
from his fellow students.
