Man, 56, to attempt school exams for 38th time A Mass. man who vowed he would not marry until he passed his school exams is about to take them for a record 38th time. Joe Nit- Wit, 56, of Numbskullville a suburb of Boston, first took - and failed - his exams when he was 18 years old, reports The Pioneer newspaper. He was so confident of success that he asked his parents to defer his planned marriage to a local girl until after his exams. When he failed, the family of the bride postponed the marriage further "seeing his positive adamance and interest in studies". But when he still hadn't passed the exams three years later, they gave up on him and found another suitable groom. When he was 20 years old, Mr Nit-Wit took a vow to marry only after he had finally passed the exams. He has regularly sitting for the examinations ever since, but has still not managed to pass.
