The funniest composition I’ve ever graded

March 20th, 2006 by Jeff Leave a reply »

From a student composing a letter about a trip somewhere:

Dear Jeff,
I’m in North Korea. I got here last week. I went to Pyongyang the day before yesterday. I had discussion with Mr. Jong-il about an army and a nuclear weapon yesterday. Mr. Jong-il is very great man. I’ts sunny and it’s warm. North Korea is great country. I’m having a very great time.
Sincerely yours,

    Awww. Mercenaries are cute when they’re young, ain’t they?

    Politically, this is a rather distressing letter. Should it be forwarded to Pentagon or some such? This could trigger War Against Terror II.

    Mits, War Against Terror I hasn’t really ended yet. Besides, one has to interpret it in a certain light: anything that makes it out of the country has to be censored so as to make the Dear Leader and his country look superb.

    I love how cute it is that he refers to him by his given name, “Mr. Jong-Il”. I don’t know why, but that strikes me as adorable.
