Mr. Burke: Creative writing assignment: write your own bogus excuse note. Convince me, and I'll actually give you Friday off.
Frazz: Isn't the school closed Friday for teacher training?
Mr. Burke: Ok, so it's a lesson in general awareness, too.

Aww Mr. Burke is da best. I’d be that one kid who would know Friday’s off but doesn’t doesn’t connect two and two so ends up writing this super elaborate note with reindeer and ufos and salami ninjas anyways

Haha! This was wonderful! Generally I have been rather neutral about Mr. Burke’s character, as he doesn’t show up too often….but…. this was funny and humorous and all around very fun.

I doubt he will ever be as great a character (IMO) as Principal Spaetzel or Mrs. Olsen, but I am thinking this puts him up on a higher ranking, probably along the level of Coach (who I also like).
