I never did homework at school and once said:
Sorry miss I can't do the home work, my parents pay taxes for you to educate me here which makes homework a form of taxation and as a socialist that is against my principles.
I wasn't popular with the teachers.
That is just pure genius.

This happened on Thursday. My car was being mot'd so I had to take a taxi - a 17 minute journey through a couple of villages - to work. Driver took a different route from mine. 'Short cut?'. 'Yes, straight to Colerne.' He then took a road that said 'Not suitable for motor vehicles' which gradually turned into a mud track. He then admitted that he had followed the sat nav. We were totally stuck and could not even open the doors. I phoned school, the head teacher shrieked 'Polly what on earth are you doing in a TAXI!!??' (as if it was totally irresponsible of me and I should have guessed something like this was bound to happen). I had to crawl backwards out of the front window and as the track was unwalkable had to cross a few fields, dodging barbed wire, to meet another taxi sent out ... which had also got stuck in the mud. I eventually got to work, boots smothered in mud, and I'm sure the head still thinks it was an elaborate excuse that I made up. The taxi driver seemed to think I would be very grateful not to be charged for the journey.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh dear.
