The Smoker Of Two Evils
(The art project for year-eight students at my school is to create a collage out of sweet wrappers. This exchange takes place between my colleague and a particularly troublesome student.)
Teacher: “Have you got your homework for me yet?”
Student: “Yes, sir, but it’s different to what you asked us to do.”
Teacher: “Why? You’ve had long enough to do it, and it’s late. What have you got for me?”
Student: “My mum said I’m not allowed to use sweet wrappers because sweets are bad for you.”
Teacher: “So what did you use instead?”
Student: “Cigarette cartons.”
