Pandora's Box

The story goes: two brothers stole fire from the gods, "which is what makes gods godly".  so the gods got mad and punished the bros.  The first bro got to be immortal, but had vultures picking at his liver for the rest of his forever.  While the second bro got a perfect wife named Pandora, and a great dowry and blah blah, but Pandora came with a box.  the gods told bro2 & pandora not to open the box, but they did.... thereby releasing all evils - poverty, disease, blah blah blah.  So then they closed the box.... but what remained?? 

Someone from the class answers the question: [couldn't hear her]
Professor repeats her answer: A toad.  that's right.

munkee proceeds to write "a toad" in her lecture notes
munkee's friend looks over at her notes, sees what she wrote and bursts out laughing.

friend
: HAHAHAHAA!!  not "a toad"!  ... HOPE!!! 
munkee: oops!!  ... oh... that makes more sense....

munkee & friend couldn't stop laughing for awhile....
