Kid Gets Sassed By Teacher In Front Of Whole Listserv

40677560_moshe_dayan_getty203

All one Theos bro wanted to do this weekend was to fake influence global policy. However, when someone impersonating the world's most badass pirate impersonator spilled on his laptop, shit got real, fast. And when the going gets tough, the trendy tough get emailing. His predicament was forwarded to the class listserv at his request-- with a little added snark from the prof. Read after the jump!

His email:

Dear Professor,

I had the utmost pleasure of competing in Harvards National Model United Nations conference this weekend on the 1967 war historical security council. This historical exercise was extremely enlightening to world politics and how international bodies seek to influence middle eastern security. Unfortunately, in the heat of debate the delegate representing IDF General Moshe Dayan knocked over a beverage on my laptop and completely fried it. I have never emailed a professor with such a request nor do I expect any sympathy. However, I lost the paper for your course as well as all of my notes and reading outlines. I should be fine on the paper, but the lecture notes are a major loss to me. I was wondering if it would be appropriate for you to send an email to the class list serve requesting someone share their notes? I feel very uncomfortable asking a student for their notes and do not have any friends in the course. Again, this has never happened to me and am sort of in the dark on how to proceed. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

I will come by your next office hours to share with you my incredible (but also unfortunate) experience this weekend.

Thanks and I'll see you in lecture tomorrow.

Dear Diplomats, Read from bottom up and if you're moved to charity get in touch with poor [kid] at the e-mail below.  See you tomorrow.

Dear [kid], A very contemporary variation on the old "dog ate my homework" theme. The Moshe Dayan actor must have been wearing his trademark eye patch. Since you are not begging an extension, sure, I'll be happy to forward your plea to the class.
