The teacher was collecting homework assignments and noticed Billy had not turned anything in. “Billy, where is your homework?”

Billy, a bad student but quick thinker, said, “Um, I lost it while fighting a kid who said you weren't the best teacher in the school.”

What's So Funny?

Billy didn't really do his homework, but he quickly thought up an excuse that involved flattering the teacher so she would be distracted from the task of checking everyone's homework.
