...whose homework actually WAS eaten by the dog?

You KNOW that it actually had to have happened at some point.

Would that make one a schlemiel or a schlimazel?

I've turned in at least two papers that were chomped by Mr. Owl's Quaker parrot, because I stupidly left them on the table where he could get at them. Fortunately classes since then have all had assignments done electronically so no more chomping. I do have to keep him off the keyboard though.

What brought this amusing musing on, anyways?

Given the intelligence level and seriousness of the other discussions presently going on,
I just felt obligated to raise the bar a little bit.
