As I sat down to get some work done, I spied a note on the desk. It is unmistakably in the handwriting of an adult, and it is well spelt and punctuated. It is an absence note for a student in a colleague's class, and it is without question the funniest absence note I have ever seen:
To Whom It May Concern
________ was absent from colllege on Thursday as he went to an 'all you can eat buffet breakfast' and did not finish until 3pm.
Regards,
______________
I was nearly paralysed with laughter. The student was a third former!
Now, it's possible that it's not genuine - maybe a sneaky teacher replaced a real absence note with a joke one to guage the reaction, but on the other hand crazy things do happen...
