I had this super feminist english teacher in high school, in my senior year, one of our major papers was a persuasive paper. I chose the topic 'Why women should not be allowed to serve in the military'. now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against women in the military, i just wanted to piss her off hehe. So i turn in this paper, and it was quite brutal and to the point with all kinds of out-landish, sexist reasons for women not being allowed in the military. She tried to fail me, giving me a 10% (a way of showing that yes, i did the paper, but i still fail) and i appealed it to the principal, saying she in-turn, was being biased against my paper. He read the paper, laughed at me and said 'I see exactly what you're doing here son, so here's what we're going to do... we're going to give this paper to 3 of the other senior english teachers and let them all grade it, then we'll average those grades together, and that'll be your final grade for this paper, sound like a good deal instead of outright failing it? i'd say its better than me just suspending you for trying to get a rise out of your teacher'. to make a long story short, the three teachers grades' averaged out to something like a 70%, just because it was a great paper lol.

the rest of that year, that teacher tried her VERY hardest to fail my ass, but i passed with a C, ahahah take it miss spiteful angry feminist lady!

It's equally as stupid but at least it looks really long. I'm probably just going to keep typing until I run out of things to babble about and see how many people actually read this. I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!
