Zero for Winslow

An irate father stormed into the principal's office.

- I demand to know - he screamed.

- why my son Winslow was given a zero on his English examination.

- Now, don't get excited - said the principal.

- We'll get your Winslow's English teacher in here. I'm sure she has some explanation.

A few minutes later, the English teacher arrived.

- Why did you give Winslow a zero on his English final? - demanded the father.

- I had no choice - said the schoolmarm.

- He handed in a blank paper with absolutely nothing on it.

- That's no excuse - shouted the father.

- You could have at least given him an 'A' for neatness!
