In English, we'd often write practice AP essays and give them to the other class to be read and graded. So one day, I thought I'd have a little fun. In the middle of my otherwise flawless (ahem) essay, I inserted this. (I didn't underline anything, that was added by one of the graders in the other class)
Now you would think that in an advanced placement English class, the joke would be pretty obvious. But there were a few people who just didn't get it. Well maybe they did get it and just acted like they didn't get it for their own amusement, but I'm pretty sure I know who one of the people were and quite frankly I would be more surprised if she did get it.
Exhibit A. Oh well. At least they gave me a respectable three. Could be worse.
Exhibit B. Well I'm sorry you didn't enjoy my essay, but it's definately [sic] nice to get some honest constructive criticism.
Exhibit C. It seems I sent this poor soul over the edge. Let me ask you a question, esteemed grader. What are you on that would cloud your common sense and block your humor receptor? Or should I say ?!
Exhibit D. Oh horrors! Cat Boy? Alright, fine. Let's make a deal. Everyone in your class can call me Catboy if I can call them Idiot in exchange. Deal, Idiot?
Exhibit E. Well it seems my hilarious nickname has caught on.
Exhibit F. Whoa, let's not get punctuation crazy here. Easy on the exclamation mark-question mark combos. And that fat upside down triangle exclamation mark is a little intimidating too. By the way, the mark of the great mind is that they're so busy and their mind is thinking so rapidly that they don't even have the time to write out three letter words.
Exhibit G. Good sound advice. I'd advise you to lay on the brains.
Cat Boy, signing off.
