November 15, 2001: Question #4 on my macroeconomics quiz, junior year of high school:
Question 4. Graph and explain the ratchet effect (in detail as usual).

Yes, I’m serious… my teacher actually handed my paper back with “PRAY” written across it. He was a hilarious guy, though, seriously! I’m glad he re-paid the laugh I gave him with my ridiculous answer to the final question on the quiz.
