The Homework Excuse
Three friends, Tom, Bob, and Harry, were discussing their most creative excuses for not doing homework. Tom said, “Once I told my teacher my cat had kittens on my homework, so I couldn’t bring it in.” Bob laughed, “That’s nothing! I said I accidentally used my homework to wrap a gift for my grandma.” Harry grinned, “Guys, you’re amateurs. I just told my teacher that my dog ate my homework.” Tom asked, “Did it work?” Harry replied, “Not really. She asked me to bring in the chewed up pieces as proof!”
Math Class Shenanigans
In a math class, the teacher asked, “If you have $20 and you give $5 to your friend, how much will you have left?” Without hesitation, a student named Sarah replied, “Exactly $20, ma’am.” Confused, the teacher questioned, “Sarah, are you sure?” She confidently responded, “Absolutely! Because if I had $20 and gave away $5, my friend would owe me $5, and thus, I’d still have my $20.”
Tech Troubles
A teenager was having trouble with their computer. Frustrated, they called tech support. The tech support agent asked, “What seems to be the problem?” The teenager replied, “Whenever I type ‘Google,’ then press Enter, nothing happens!” The agent asked, “Is there any error message?” The teen said, “No, it’s just like the internet is broken!” The agent, trying not to laugh, gently asked, “Sir, are you sure you’re pressing ‘Enter’ after typing?” The teen replied, “Of course, I’m not an idiot!” The agent then advised, “Sir, can you please press the ‘Enter’ key and tell me what happens?” There was a moment of silence, followed by, “Oh! Wow, it’s working now. I guess I forgot to press ‘Enter’ before!”
Lost and Found
Two friends, Jack and Tim, were hiking in the woods when they got lost. Jack said, “Don’t worry, I read that if you get lost in the woods, you should fire three shots in the air. That’s the signal for help.” Tim nodded and fired three shots. After a while, nobody came. Tim asked, “Now what?” Jack sighed, “Well, I guess we wait a bit longer and then fire three more shots.”
