Rough Theory

I just received a very polite email in relation to a late assignment, in which the student explained (sic):

“Sorry for the delay – I had an intensive curse all day Fri and Sat which didn’t help…”

I think this may be my favourite late assignment communication ever. To be honest, I’ve been in the mood for an intensive curse myself, although I’m not sure I’d have the stamina for a 48-hour one. I was very disappointed, though, to hear that it didn’t help…
