Skyrim can get you out of responsibility

20 October 2011

What do you do to get out of your history class which is celebrating a remembrance day by reciting the poetry of a soldier who probably should have been shooting?

Well, you could either get your dad to write you a letter, or you could get your awesome dad to write you an awesome letter of awesomeness.

A history teacher in charge of the aforementioned Remembrance Day recital received one of those letters.

A dad known only as Cody, informed the teacher that his daughter would not be attending the recital as she needed to remember the lives lost in Cyrodiil upon the opening of the Oblivion gates.

We kid you not.

The letter goes further to explain that the young lady will also be absent in the following week as she is heeding the call to battle dragons in the kingdom of Skyrim.

The letter was sealed with wax and everything – now that’s commitment to the cause.

The history teacher not only accepted the letter, but found it so funny that he thought he would share it with the rest of the internet.

When something is signed, “Yours Truly, Cody [Surname]; Grand Champion of the Cyrodiil Arena; Lord of Battlehorn Castle (DLC), Madgod of the Shivering Isles, D.H.S Alumni”, how can you blame him?

Cody, we salute you; and the citizens of Cyrodiil stand with you and [Name].

By the way, James, I won’t be coming into work next week, I have heard rumours that the Joker is back in Gotham, and needs to be dealt my personal form of Justice.

(It’s not working, is it?)

Check out the letter below.
