What's the most subversive homework you actually turned it?

[wickerwoman]

Mine was for Home Ec or Society and Health (or whatever they were calling it). We were supposed to pair up with a person of the opposite sex, pretend we were married, write a marriage contract and a budget, decide where we were going to live, etc.

I told the teacher I was never going to get married. She just winked and said "You won't feel like that forever." (Fifteen years later, I still do. Thanks, though!)

So I got together with four boys in the class who also thought the assignment was stupid and we set up a commune. With our four salaries we were able to buy a houseboat and a sheep ranch in Australia. We hired a maid so we didn't have to do housework and "gambling" was the second biggest expenditure.

The teacher was actually fairly cool about it, except the next assignment was having a fake baby with your fake spouse. She asked me which guy was the father and I said I didn't know we always used protection. We had a son we named Quasar but he was mauled by a puma.

Amazingly, we didn't fail. I'd love to see a gay or lesbian kid in a Fundie high school with major guts set up a same-sex household for the same assignment, fail, and the sue the hell out of the district.

So what kind of smart-ass homework did you turn in in school?

1. Dude that is awesome

I was too shy in school to try to pull off that kind of stuff, so I just didn't do work when I didn't want to. :shrug:

I can however, tell you a story about one of my buddies in high school.

We had a Business English class together- and this is the day that we started hanging out. We had to do an assignment, either with a partner or by ourselves- a 2 minute speech, with a prop (or just a poster) about something important to the career we wanted as adults. (Mine was being a writer, I chose the copyright symbol)
So J.'s turn comes up. And he doesn't have any "career" chosen, because he didn't care about career stuff. But he did have a speech, LOL.
He talked to us about NORML. His prop- a huge poster board plastered with various pictures of marijuana, cut out of High Times magazine. With an empty space in the middle, wherein he wrote NORML in black marker- I think a tiny bit of info, though I can't remember for sure.
Most of the kids snickered at first. But then his 2 minute mark came up- by this point I couldn't stop laughing- he was going on and on about pot, and how it's not harmful at all, and how great NORML is. And the teacher tried to stop him- but he kept going! His 2 minute speech ended up being over 5 minutes before the teach got him to quit- the whole time I sat there LMAO and I *knew* that's what kept him going. Somehow, he managed not to get an "F".

I know that even better now, he's so egotistical and loves attention. J.'s a great guy- after that speech we started talking and he was the one that initially got me really into politics.

2. I did a research report about the OKcity bombing

that was mostly about bomb making and availability of instructions for said bomb making on the internet.

This was about 8th grade. I got an A
