Bad Grade Snake
While I was grading this afternoon, Dan identified a new, harmless (to the teacher, anyway) species of snake that had infested our apartment: Bad Grade Snake. The Bad Grade Snake slithers around the grading teacher, hissing “Fffff… Fffffff….” “What’s that, Bad Grade Snake? The student used triple-space to make her paper meet the page minimum?” “Ffff… Ffff…,” Bad Grade Snake replies. “What’s that, Bad Grade Snake? The student didn’t have a thesis?” “Fffff… Fffffff…”
Bad Grade Snake, it turns out, is an even harsher critic than I am.
