The Philosophy Exam

There was a story going around at my old school of a student who, in a philosophy exam, wrote "today is too nice to be couped up in an exam hall so I am going outside to sit under a tree," in response to the question, whatever it was. They then left the exam hall, and when the results came in, found they had received the highest mark.

It's the ultimate cop-out and I can't believe the examiner bought it. "I am too much of a lazy shit to study for what will no doubt be a difficult exam so I'll come up with some half-arsed response to a question I don't understand."

Or, "I don't feel like sitting down and writing for half an hour."

You can see where this is leading can't you?

Have a great week.
