Back in my high school Pascal class, there was a guy who would always
ask for a copy of your program to turn in (usually 2 days late).  One of
the first times he asked me, I told him no because our teacher would
find out.  He said, "No she won't, she's too stupid."  Well, it turned
out that she was standing behind us at the time....

The one time I let him copy my program, I put a little line in that said
something like "I am stupid, I copied this program directly from Tom
Collins."  He didn't remove the line before turning it in....
