My uncle attended iowa state back in the 70s and took some course on the history of Iowa. He was an engineering student so this may have been mandatory. He had zero interest in the class and did the bare minimum the whole semester.
They had some big term paper in lieu of a final exam. A day or two before the due date he concocted a magnificent yarn about some hill in his grandfather's hometown where volunteer regiments in the civil war gathered and paraded for the locals before marching off to war. Complete fabrication.
A couple weeks into winter break he gets the report card -- he passed. But when he went to the prof's office to collect his own from the stack of graded papers, it was missing. Knowing he had gotten away with murder he most definitely did not inquire with the prof about getting his paper back.
👍an amazing story!
