Personally when I read this it made me laugh and I thought wow, your essay is excellent. Doesn't matter if it is a bit childish, it will be one hell of a lot better than the rest of the lame attempts in the class. My essays were embarrisingly awful but I still managed to get a B at higher- haha.

Can I ask what teacher it was at RGC?

HOWEVER, I was less impressed when I showed this to a friend and they told me that this was a copy off a website jokes site that he had read.

Why I fired my secretary [rec.humor.funny]

poor effort, no wonder the teacher said that to you, it even has the same title.

I'm really sorry, but apart from it being a blatent rip off of an old joke, it's not very well written. You can't expect to get away with padding out a misogynistic joke with ramblings about how attractive the secretary is or how fat and ugly the mother in law is for an English essay, no wonder your teacher didn't like it.
I know it wasn't intentionally copied but try and write something original and that you can relate to otherwise your writing will always be stiff and unrealistic.

/rant of the English student.

Sorry, stuff like this really gets me worked up!

Ignoring the (significant) fact that it was blatantly plagiarised it was an enjoyable read. The clumsy tense shifts were presumably the result of a half-arsed proof-read at 3am, but the teacher comments do seem to be a bit harsh (as long as he/she didn't realise it was nicked off some website).
