She swore the chemistry teacher wouldn’t really read those term papers, so in the middle of hers she dropped in this sentence: “Of course, everyone knows that the moon is really made of green cheese.” She got an A; the sentence was left unmarked.

I was certain my History professor didn't read our papers. I got a C on a paper when I was a junior; so the next year I submitted the same paper with a new cover page, and got an A-.
Too clever! The only thing I did that comes close (well, not all that close) was to resubmit an anecdote to Reader's Digest after it was rejected. I thought, It's too good to have been rejected. They must not have read it. So I sent it back to them, and this time it was accepted. :-)
Oh, Susan, to be that sure and then to be right. Wonderful.
I once read that a flight attendant was so convinced that nobody was paying attention to the safety demonstration that when it came time to demonstrate how to use the oxygen mask, she placed it over her breast instead of her face.
