I've heard of leap years....

[Argabarga]

But never "Run full tilt towards the edge and pole-vault into oblivion" years

But apparently they exist, that's the only reason I can think of for someone forging their parking pass expiration date from "7-11-10" to "7-91-10"

That was just a tad suspicious

I think they were more upset at themselves than us for getting caught

[superhotelworker]

Wow. I um.. just duh?

Small - very, very SMALL bit of credit for at least being pissed at THEMSELVES rather than you.

[Hyena Dandy]

Damn.


That's just... I mean, I can't think of anything else they could have changed the date to, but I have no idea what they were thinking.

[Argabarga]

They were most likely trying to make it 7-19, but weren't paying attention, or had the radio playing in the background, or weren't wearing their tinfoil hat, or something...

If you're going to be stupid, be smart. (I OWN THAT OXYMORON, DARNIT!)

If you're going to forge something, at least ATTEMPT to make it believable.

My forgery career began and ended quickly.

I had gotten a bad grade on a paper, and apparently tried to forge my moms name in green crayon. I was in first grade.

Um, yeah. Been there, done that.

In my case, the first grade teacher used to put a star (five pointed) at the top of the page if you did the penmanship exercises nicely. She refused to put one on mine (apparently the smiley faces in the capital B's weren't to her liking) so I tried to draw the star myself. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to draw it the way she did, which was five strokes of the pen without ever lifting it from the paper. I think my star had about 20 or 30 points by the time I was done with it. My mom didn't buy it...

That's awesome.

Not even on Mars can you get to July 91 considering that a month on Mars is twice as long as a month on Earth.
Must be this "new math" they keep talking about...lol.

[EricKei]

or weren't wearing their tinfoil hat, or something...

Well, Pffft. No wonder they screwed up. Never take off the hat. No, not even for that.

"new math"

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Don't say that word!

I took a slightly different tack. In Grade 8 social studies, I thought I was going to get a lousy grade. Standard procedure at my high school was that the teachers would hand out blank report card forms (4 part carbonless) and we'd fill in our name and other info, leaving only the letter grade and comment fields blank. The top copy (written on directly) was the one that got sent home. I tore out some small pieces of looseleaf paper and inserted them into the form under the letter grade field (i.e. to keep it from transferring) so that the copies retained by the school would have the grade field blank.

Turned out I passed the course anyway - but when I got my report card home, a small piece of looseleaf paper fell out (as if the tampering hadn't been noticed). The "sent home" report card consisted of page 1 of the form from each class.
