Student Homework Confusion

A cartoon student happily eating his homework paper with a fork and knife while sitting at a school desk, with a confused teacher pointing at an actual cake on her desk, creating the literal interpretation pun

Why did the student eat his homework?

Because the teacher said it was a piece of cake!

Did You Know?

The phrase "piece of cake" meaning "something easy to do" dates back to the 1930s. It comes from the idea that eating cake is effortless and pleasant. This joke plays on a student taking the phrase literally - if homework is a "piece of cake," then surely it should be eaten! Teachers might want to be more careful with their metaphors!
