Hah. I've done that on a history paper, but all of my history teachers have been very laid back and enjoyed humor in the essays as they have to read so many.
And oh my, with the racial profiling, for our TAKS exam (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills - It's basically the test you take in the 11th grade to make sure you meet Texas standards to graduate) we had to write an essay on the importance of acceptance.
I, on the other hand, wrote a very convincing essay as to why anglo-saxons were the master race and those of non-European decent (i.e. Native Americans, Africans, etc.) were below us, thus we shouldn't accept them into society or else we contaminate our gene pool and all. I don't believe that by any means, but I thought it was a hoot. My English teacher threatened to fail me for the semester but eventually took the "I judge on persuasiveness, not on content" point of view and passed me with an 85. The TAKS readers gave me a 4 out of a possible 4 with 4 being the highest. While I don't personally believe it, apparently it was pretty persuasive.
