Teacher to students:

 

"I'm afraid I haven't got enough copies of this exercise. So

I tried to have more run up but the photocopier

had broken down and the repairman

didn't turn up when he was supposed to.

He did ring in to say he'd been

held up unexpectedly, but that's the second

time that company has let us down recently.

Well, there's nothing else for it: you're just going to have 

to look down with your neighbour. While you're doing

that, I'll just give out the test you did last week.

Some of you slipped up in a few places,

but, on the whole, the results were good. If you just

carry on as you've been doing, you should do fine!"
