Student: "Professor? You asked to see me?" Professor: "Yes. Let's have a look at your macroeconomics test."
Professor: "For question 1, you wrote, 'One possible cause is interest rates.' And then you repeated those 6 words as your answer to every single question thereafter."
Student: "You're saying I should have studied harder." Professor: "What? No! I'm accusing you of plagiarizing the textbook!"
