The Dog Ate My Homework

THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK

On October 12th, 1893, a third-grader named Winslow Greenbay made history. On that day, he showed up for school without his Latin assignment. When the teacher asked for it, Winslow searched his mind for a clever excuse and blurted, "My dog ate it!"

Now, this may not strike you as particularly creative. But it was actually a breakthrough. According to historians, this was the first time that the world's most famous excuse was used!

It's irrelevant that Winslow's teacher did not buy the excuse, and caned Winslow mercilessly in front of his fellow classmates. On that day, a legend was born.

Since then, countless school kids have used the excuse in countless classrooms in countless schools. And to our knowledge, it has never worked. Never.

But that's all changed, thanks to this brilliant new product.

The Dog Ate My Homework is absolute proof that the dog did, indeed, consume your homework.

How does it achieve this remarkable feat? It's a mound of very authentic-looking dog poop with fragments of homework scattered throughout. If Rover had indeed eaten your homework, something like this would eventually come out for the world to see.

So, the next time you fail to do your homework, place some The Dog Ate My Homework in a Ziplock bag and tote it to school. When the teacher asks for your assignment, hold out the bag and say your excuse.

If nothing else, the teacher will get a good laugh before she canes you mercilessly in front of your fellow classmates.
