“Worst excuse for not turning in homework: I couldn’t find anyone to copy it from”

Many students copy the homework of others. “Worst excuse for not turning in homework: I couldn’t find anyone to copy it from” is a jocular school saying that has been printed on several images. The saying was posted on Twitter on August 20, 2008, and is of unknown authorship.
