True Story "Can you do my homework"
Many years ago when I was studying at University I shared lodgings with several other students. The landlords teenage son was always pestering us to help with his physics homework. One day he had a problem that required a long descriptive answer. To get rid of him quickly a fellow student offered to write the answer directly into his book using a pencil. That way the lad could go over it in ink and rub out the pencil so it would be in his own hand writing. A few days later the lad came home from school looking rather grim. It transpired that he had been in trouble with his teacher and have even been sent to the headmasters office. Keen to find out what had happened we asked to see his homework and there in the middle of the passage, in his own hand writing obviously, were the words "Teacher has cheesy feet" circled in red ink. Yup he had gone over it in ink and rubbed out the pencil marks without reading a word.
