Just Doing What Teacher Said
My US History teacher used to always say, “I don’t care what you write with. Pen, pencil, crayon, blood; just answer all of the questions” when handing out tests. No one never asked why. Presumably someone’s pen ran out halfway through the test once.
Well, one day my friend is being an idiot with a pen and making stabbing motions at me but stopping short. All the while claiming it’s perfectly fine when I tell him to knock it off before I beat him up.
Well, lo and behold, I was right and that idiot doesn’t stop short enough and leaves a pretty sizeable cut on my arm. I took advantage in the best way. I decided it would be funny if I took a staple out of my bag, and got some practice writing on the test paper like I had a quill and inkwell.
Blood was no longer allowed as a writing choice for the next test. Story credit: Reddit / DirkBabypunch
