A mate was taking an on-line course, which was rather ambitious for him - I was doubtful that he'd be able to handle the maths involved, to be honest. Nevertheless, he sent of a pretty significant wodge of cash and got stuck in.

It came time to send his first assignments back to the tutor. As I'd feared, he hadn't done too well. The tutor obviously agreed, because he sent a mail to his boss asking "How to I explain this to someone who's as thick as pigshit?"

We know this, because the tutor accidentally CC'd the student in the mail.

I gleefully helped him compose an indignant letter complaining about this insulting language, with the effect that they returned the cost of the course, and assigned a different tutor. The original tutor was supposedly given the boot, but we have no way of confirming that.

Unfortunately, he never did finish the course, even though it was now free.

Once refused the request of a senior manager at a very well known
International accountancy firm to 'take the mail system down' as he had inadvertently sent a scathing
review of one of his juniors including the suggestion that they be sacked to everyone in the department including said junior. He rather hoped that it being half seven in the morning might make this a doddle.

The tutor was right.
