An English teacher caught one of her students sleeping in class. Calling the errant student back to consciousness, she asked him to go to the board and prepare a sentence for the class.
Reluctantly, the student got to his feet and made his way to the board.
The teacher gave him the following assignment - construct a sentence using the words "defeat", "defense" and "detail".
The student thought for a moment and then got a big grin on his face as inspiration seized him. He began to write out the sentence with enthusiasm.
Proudly, he stepped back from the board. The class took one look and burst into wild laughter.
His sentence?
"De feet of de cat jumped over de fence before de tail."
