Either a 5th grader or Stephen Ambrose.

I was going to guess Thomas Friedman.

ROTFL!

This makes it sound as if they were just having a frat kegger on the boats, hopin' for the best. Because if you set sail, of COURSE you'll land in Japan! Right?

Wait--that's NOT what happened? Dang. It's how I ended up here......

Oh, you never know about test writers.

I had one this semester define Modernism:

"Modernism is the literary term that was the development of literature from pre-Modernism to Modernism."

I laughed so hard I nearly peed. Then I gave them a point for the laugh. It didn't help their grade much.

Listen, zombie. Believe me. What I could tell you--you with your silly hands leaking sweat on your growth-stocks portfolio. Look, dead daddy. See for instance that rotten girl? In the crowd over there, that one gaping at her gods. One rotten girl in the city of the future.... watch. (James Tiptree)

I just saw this. It gave me my laugh-out-loud for the day. Thanks, larryc and spork!
