JOKE of the day: A hostage situation

Laughter is the best medicine, and South Africans could undoubtedly do with a dose of the giggles these days!

Student: I don’t understand why my grade was so low. How did I do on my research paper?

Teacher: Actually, you didn’t turn in a research paper. You turned in a random assemblage of sentences.

In fact, the sentences you apparently kidnapped in the dead of night and forced into this violent and arbitrary plan of yours clearly seemed to be placed on the pages against their will.

Reading your paper was like watching unfamiliar, uncomfortable people interacting at a cocktail party that no one wanted to attend in the first place.

You didn’t submit a research paper. You submitted a hostage situation.
