Reminds me of what I would have written had I not elaborately found a way to cheat my way through.

Yep, I have a lot of empathy for these answers and the students who came up with them.

It brings this to mind

In the Shakespeare module of my high school Senior English class there was a "project" assigned. I barely did regular homework let alone a project. So the last day arrived and there were these great projects lined up around the room -- elaborate costumes, models of the Globe Theater, all kinds of stuff. I had nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I went out to the school incinerator (this was 1966, mind you, and in small town West Virginia -- there were incinerators) and found a stick of charred wood, eight, maybe ten inches long. Then I went into the wood shop and got a nice piece of finished wood. Next, I glued the charred wood on top. Looked pretty good, I thought. Simple but elegant.

Into class I marched and submitted the piece as "The Globe Theater, After It Burned Down."

The teacher did not fail me. However, I was told that for years afterwards she used me as a non-example.

Other than the Great-Dane-tricking-me-out-of-a-sandwich story, the Globe Theater is one of my best stories. It feels about right being able to tell it here.

You can't mention it and not tell the full story!
