Teachers Get the Last Laugh
Damn straight.
I have pulled my share of things too, of course. For example, I need to go dig old my exam instructions that allow the use of 'a note from your mother' and the question about mystery meat with Poisson-distributed things in it. (One of the students actually submitted a note from her mother. It include threats against both Lloydies and the Los Angeles Dodgers. There was also a comment about the potential health problems caused by generating functions.)
(Tip of the cap to Sammy Kline --- and, of course, to Katie Noyes Rogstad and her mother.)
