Harsh. The inside of a table tennis ball is not big enough
Is that a 2 page essay on the inside of a ping pong ball or a 2 page essay on the inside of a ping pong ball?
I knew some wags would ask me that. How do I know that? Because even longer ago than getting stuck in the barriers at the Mersey tunnel, I got given the exact same punishment. So I cut open a ping pong ball and wrote 'two page essay' inside. That cost me a week of dinnertime detentions writing lines while everyone else played footy.
