For some book report we(my class) had to pretend we were a character from the book we were reading. The teacher wouldn't let me bring an axe to school, so I couldn't be Gimli. So I was Pippin, my second favorite character. Well, when I went up in front of the class, I was suposed to say say what I liked doing. I replied to the interviewer "Eating! All hobbits love eating! Oh, and ale, I drink ale."(at this point my paranoid teacher got a little concerned, but said nothing) Oh I almost forgot! I smoke weed."

Well, I accidentally left out the pipe, appently my teacher thought I was talking about marajuana(spl?). She got up and screamed an "UH!". She then screamed at me to get out of the class and report to the principal. I went without argument because I knew when I explained it would make my teacher look really foolish. It was hilarious. I never got a chance to explain right away, and a note went home to my parents. My dad, having read The Hobbit, thought it hilarious and sent to school with a solemn note saying

"I can't believe my child's behavior! I will flog him at once! I will flog him three times a day! I will send him to bed without dinner! I will whip him!

Sincerely Yours,
Concerned Father

When she read the note, my teacher got all sorry and called my father saying not to flog me. It was soooooooooo funny. My dad was laughing so hard when the teacher hung up. That was the best joke we ever played.
