What type of pupil becomes an expert at escaping every single afternoon?
A student
This riddle cleverly exploits the dual definition of the word 'pupil', which can refer to a learner in a classroom or the dark opening in the center of the human eye. Your eye pupils automatically dilate and constrict, but a school student gets to escape the building when the final afternoon bell rings.
