10 Ways For Not Being Able To Finish Your Homework
Written by Mystical Darkness

Neal's excuses...

1.       Get into with a fight with Lady Alanna – you’ll miss at least one week of school, and you won’t have to worry about homework, just your teachers’ get-well cards…

2.       Get killed – that’s a sure way for not doing your homework.

3.       Kill King Jonathan – you do something nice for Tortall, and you’ll be in jail for a LONG TIME.  So long that you’ll never have to do homework again!

4.       Eat anything Lord Wyldon’s cooked – trust me, it ALWAYS tastes horrible.  The last person to eat his cooking was sick for forty weeks.

5.       Joke about Joren’s lack of brains in front of him – sure way to get yourself a make-over (free!) and not be able to do your homework for a while.

6.       Ride Peachblossom – ouch!  That’s all I can say!

7.       Joust with Lord Raoul – do I HAVE to describe this?

8.       Tell your teacher that bandits raided your house – they’ll be so depressed for you that they may actually OFFER to do your homework for you!

9.       Tell Queen Thayet that she’s the ugliest queen ever, and that Alanna would do MUCH better – you’ll DEFINITELY have to stay in the hospital for five YEARS after Queen Thayet’s ratted on you to her husband’s armies!!!

10. Tell your teacher you were too busy training lousy pages to do your homework – that’ll shock ’em!
