Oedipus will always be remembered through out time because he suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease, and that's why he couldn't play base ball in the first Olympic games.

I think it is fairly obvious that this paper was never handed in and those markings are not teacher made markings.

1.) I can't imagine anyone in the teaching profession, no less an English teacher even reading and correcting that after skimming through the first paragraph.

2.) Look at some of the circle marks...they look like the most awkward, crooked ovals I have ever seen.  Which seems more likely: they look that way because a stoner hoked up on heroin drew them, or the teacher was correcting the papers during an earthquake.

3.) The teacher writes on the last page "Please see after class."  I am pretty sure that an English teacher would not leave the word ME out of that sentence like the illiteare(but very funny, don't get me wrong) person who wrote and self graded this paper.

4.) Douche bag is worth more than a -1!

5.) Threats, like the one in this paper, would be taken INCREDIBLY serious at the college level.  In some schools that single sentence would have gotten that student expelled from school...not a 61.

I am not taking anything away from the humor of the read in general, it was hilarious.  I am just stating it seems HIGHLY unlikely, that the grading was authentic.

RIP Mogg Fanatic...at least you are still better than Fire Bowman!!!

I was once asked on MWS, what the highest I ever finished at a TMD Open was.  I replied, "I've never played in a Waterbury.  I was then called "A TOTAL NOOB!"

I simply HAVE to start a thread with some of the papers I get during the school year...with the names removed to protect the innocent of course.

Back in eight grade, we had to write a short essay on what we'd do if we found a wallet with $50 in it on the sidewalk. I was sitting in the front row, so I got to glance at the papers that people passed to the front. One was almost exactly this:

Quote
"If I found $50"
If I found $50, I would buy a new skateboard.

I would also buy lunch for my friends.

I would spend the rest on CDs.

That is what I would do if I found $50

It's "Eighth" grade. Use ordinals.

But that was funny as hell. Amazing.
