Reminds me of this one-time a girl at school had copied a shortcut to a DOC file onto the floppy-disk and submitted it at school.

The teacher had a hard time explaining shortcuts to her. The girl kept insisting that the PC at school was broken as the shortcut worked in her machine at home.

What I hope really happened is that the savvy student bought herself an extra day to complete the assignment!
