Funny essay on Oedipus

Gotta share Planes, Trains, and Plantains: The story of Oedipus

A friend sent this and it had me in stitches. I haven’t laughed this hard since Joker’s boner. The teacher’s remarks, especially with -2 for language had me gasping for breath.

While it may be a fake (only a D?), it is absolutely hilarious! Enjoy! :smiley:

Funny, but I think it must be fake; on page 3 (the blank one), the teacher has written ‘page is to big’

There once was a man named Oedipus Rex/
You may have heard about his odd complex/
His name appears in Freud’s index/
'Cause he loved his mother…

Funny, funny stuff.

Also, in the first paragraph of the essay, the statement that “Oedipus will be remembered through out time” is not corrected with a note that “throughout” is one word.

And it says “see after class”, not “see me

IANAD*, but this is a pretty funny folk tale.

    • D = Decsendent

My Ancient Lit teacher wouldn’t give me a D on this, he’d throw it at my head. And laugh hysterically.

What is this guy smoking and where can I get some?
