In HS, we had a teacher that would sign his passes "M. Boreman" - And instructed us to do the same as no one ever checked such things...

That's funny. I once used a granola bar for a pass and got away with it. It was my quest my senior year of high school to convince my teachers that high school should be a sort of learning free enterprise. I felt that if I could learn the material without doing homework or showing up to class then that should be ok. Alas, I never succeeded.

I did you one better in my Sophomore English class. I didn't do the homework, didn't sit through the class (I spent 90% of my time at the computers in the back room), AND didn't learn the material...and got an A. I'm not sure how, I believe it was my inate ability to make people think I actually know something (hah!) and the fact that I spent the summer previous touring Europe with the teacher.
