Goes without saying...

I once had a student argue a grade that I gave him on a quiz by saying, "I didn’t write the answer you were looking for because I thought it went without saying."

I didn't write "you're a moron" on the top of his quiz because I thought that went without saying too.

I once got a 0 on an Essay test. That has to be some kind of record.

"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

How many points was the essay test worth? Was it a big test?

Btw, I sometimes use that "everyone in this room is now dumber" line in class. It's a winner.
