Wrapper 18: More homework, more skeletons

11. Nicholas W., Sandy, UT

When is homework not homework?


When it is infinity! Am I right, guys?

When it is turned into the teacher.

That's [sic]. Is the joke really as subtle as a play on "in to"/"into"? Homework is turned in to the teacher... but now it's not homework, because it's been turned into the teacher! I mean, it's either that or "it's not at home anymore since you've turned it in," which is probably even stupider.

Why did the skeleton cross the road?


A new twist on an old classic!

12. To get to the body shop.

This is another one where I wonder if it was really written by a kid. The "body shop"? I guess it's believable that a kid would have heard this phrase, but doesn't this really only work as a joke if you're aware of what a body shop actually is? Otherwise you could really put anything in here ("the skin store!") and it would make about as much sense, although I suppose eliciting that twinge of recognition is the point.
