Cheating cheaty cheats
I'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

Never believe "we can tell if you do that"
Got A* in GCSE French speaking coursework by being allowed to record it on tape (why?). Asked 'but surely we could just read it out?', was assured 'oh but we can tell if you do that.' Of course they can't and they didn't. They can't even tell if you pause every other sentence to prepare the next bit. Not really funny, more stupid. But of course, GCSEs haven't got easier or anything...
Oh, and I would question how Darfbozo could have received a signed copy of the Little Prince, given that Saint Exsuperie (sp) has been dead for some years now, and hence it would be really quite valuable. Schools aren't usually that generous, unless you went to some super-school full of rich twats.
