A child goes to school on his first day. However, he is a little late, and there is only one desk left in the classroom. He sits down and notices something carved on the desk, so he raises his hand and tells the teacher something is carved into the desk. She asks what it says, so he answers with "Purple Passion."
The teacher gets furious. Yelling at the boy, she tells him to go straight to the office.
The boy is now sitting in the principal's office, and the principal asks him why he is there. He tells the principal that he was late to school on the first day, so there was only one desk available. When he sat down, he noticed something was carved in the desk. He told the teacher, and she sent him to the principal's office. The principal asks the boy what was carved on the desk, so the boy answers, "Purple Passion."
The principal gets even more furious than the teacher. He points to the door and screams at the boy to get out of his school, telling him that he is suspended until further notice.
Not even allowed to wait for his parents, the boy starts walking home. After about ten minutes, a police officer pulls up beside him and asks the boy why he isn't in school. The boy is nervous, but remembers his parents telling him that he can trust police officers. He tells the officer that he was late to his first day of school, so there was only one desk available. When he sat down, he saw something carved in it. When he told the teacher, she sent him to the office, and when he told the principal, he suspended the boy and made him walk home. The officer didn't think any of that made sense, but he asked the boy what was carved in the desk that upset everyone so much. The boy pauses, but tells the officer, "Purple Passion."
The kind officer immediately becomes very angry and arrests the child on the spot.
The next morning, the child still hasn't been home or talked to his parents. He is instead standing in front of a judge. The judge, unaware of why this child is in front of him, asks what is going on. The child tells the judge that he was late for school and had to sit at the last empty desk, but it had something carved in it. When he told the teacher, he was sent to the office. When he told the principal, he was suspended. When he told the police officer, he was arrested. The judge thought that it can't be all that bad and asked the child what was carved into the desk. The boy told the judge that he didn't want to say, since things always got worse when he did. The judge reassured the boy that he couldn't go to jail for describing what he saw. Reassured, the boy tells the judge, "Purple Passion."
Never having been so angry before, the judge bangs down his gavel and sends the child to juvenile detention until he is 18.
Several years have now gone by. The boy has served his sentence. Finally learning his lesson, he has refused to speak to anyone about the incident, or anything at all. His roommate has not been able to get him to talk during the entire time they have been together, but the boy will turn 18 the next day and be released, so he decides to try one more time. He tells the boy that he committed arson and manslaughter, and that there is nothing the boy could have done that will surprise him.
So the boy relents. He tells his roommate about how he was late to school, and there was only one desk available, but it had something carved in it. When he told the teacher, he was sent to the office. When he told the principal, he was suspended. When he told the police officer, he was arrested. And when he told the judge, he was sent to juvenile hall. The roommate thought that was ridiculous. How could all of that happen over what someone else carved into a desk? He asks the boy what was carved in the desk. The boy hesitates, but decides that he should trust his roommate. He tells his roommate, "Purple Passion."
The roommate responds by saying that he has no idea what that means, but that there is a library across the street from the center where the boy can look it up when he gets out. The boy decides to do just that. He gets out the next day, starts to cross the street to the library, gets hit by a car and dies.
How's that for a stupid joke?
