You Bought Won’t Get an A
8> Your teacher wrote it, when *he* was in high school.
7> It was written by a Nobel Prize-winning economist, but your
translation from the Russian leaves something to be desired.
6> You bought it from the guy who lives behind the
supermarket… and it appears to be written in feces.
5> Your essay on the space program is supported by complex
calculations, and predicts that man may some day walk on
the moon.
4> You may not have done the research, but you’re pretty sure
that “The Great Gatsby” wasn’t written by Ella Fitzgerald.
3> You’re only using the free trial version, so there’s an ad
