They were ass’d?
I thought the proper verb was “axed.”
assigned....but I like the shortened version....
I’d tell the teacher my dog ate the homework, because that’s what dogs do: eat turds and vomit, and add that, if teacher likes, I’d concider collecting the poo for mailing to The Obama Campaign, next movement my pet has, that is, if the dog hadn’t died of marxist-ink poisoning when I arrived home.
