Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Class is now in session. The rules are simple, you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.

Let's get this show on the road. Here is my example of the WFTD.

A South Carolina woman accused of putting a disinterred skeleton in her car and setting the vehicle on fire in an attempt to stage her own death has been arrested in Florida. (snip)
Last October, a passer-by discovered a female skeleton in Grice's 1998 smoke-filled Ford Contour, which was abandoned near a wooded area of Marion County. But the flames had gone out because the doors were closed and the windows were rolled up, so the fire ran out of oxygen.

LOL, talk about stupid criminal tricks. Although the digging up of that poor body was bad enough; burning it in your car is even worse, but the absolute kicker to this, is that the woman didn't even know enough to let oxygen in to feed the fire. I'm sure that if she had proper sagacity she would have left the windows down, but then if, she was properly sagacious, she wouldn't have dug up that poor body to begin with. Criminals offend me: stupid criminals offend me even more. This one will be reaping her rewards. Just not the ones she was thinking about, I'm sure.

Woman Digs Skeleton Up, Burns It To Fake Death
