A couple of years a go I was marking an exam paper, the topic being the Suez crisis of 1956 and Anthony Eden’s handling of it.

Eden’s use of meth-amphetamines whilst in office has recently come to light. Asked to comment on Eden’s handling of the crisis in the question, the candidate wrote, and I quote verbatim:

”Eden’s handling of the crisis wasn’t very good cos(sic) he was ripped to the tits on speed”.

Still my favourite answer to an exam question.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, washed the t-shirt 23 times, threw the t-shirt in the ragbag, now I'm polishing furniture with it.
