In class, this brought me a good chuckle. We were discussing summary queries, and for some reason we went into using null in the WHERE clause.

Query:
SELECT first_name, last_name, customer_number
FROM customer
WHERE street IS NULL

Result set:

first_name last_name customer_number
Sally Adams 412

Teacher:    So, what does this say about Sally Adams?
Student:    She’s homeless?
