Teacher to students:
"I'm afraid I haven't got enough copies of this exercise. So
I tried to have more run over but the photocopier
had broken down and the repairman
didn't turn on when he was supposed to.
He did ring me to say he'd been
held out unexpectedly, but that's the second
time that company has let us down recently.
Well, there's nothing else for it: you're just going to have less
to look around with your neighbour. While you're doing
that, I'll just give you the test you did last week.
Some of you slipped out in a few places,
but, on the whole, the results were good. If you like
carry around as you've been doing, you should do fine!"
