In about year 6 I had a test that I had to do and the question was 'If you have 150 apples in a barrel and you get 5 more barrels, how many apples do you have?' I answered with 'A s_!t load of apples' Amazingly, I still got an A.
I would've been more horrified than anything if anyone had actually failed that question. Hah.
Reminds me though when I was in fifth grade (I think), we had a problem on a spelling test that stated: "spell the word continent."
...my answer was "spell the words try harder." The teacher wasn't amused at my answer to her trick question, sadly, and gave me a detention. Hah.

Haha Jenna, I actually got the question wrong (technically only 1/2 wrong). I read it to myself and I was like, "Well that's easy. You have 150 apples and 6 barrels!" But then I thought about it and it got difficult. How many apples are in the rest of the barrels? 150? I actually had to write it down and do a little graph for myself to get 900 (150X6). Math isn't my strong point, y'all. I have to have paper or a calculator to do two digits or more.
But on with the ridiculous essay answer I remembered. My friend had to write an essay answer about the way he walks down the hall for creative writing. He put:
"I walk very quickly, with my hands in my pockets so that I don't accidentally touch someone's butt because the hall is so crowded! How embarassing. It ruins my entire day." He got B+.

Oh, man, I recently dug out one of my 7th grade tests from the loft, we were supposed to be getting rid of old papers and tests but me and my brother could not stop laughing at this one question... meh. This is what it said:
Spell Mississippi.
I circled 'Mississippi' and wrote 'idiot' in red pen next to it. I can't imagine how I got away with that.
Another infamous answer I discovered was from the same test. The question was:
Sihad has 20 marbles. If his mother gives him 15 times the amount of marbles he already has, how many is he left with?
My answer was:
Sihad's momma is a big fat slut.

Hehe. I was also going through all my old school things, and I found a report card from 3rd grade (this was just after I moved to my second school).
In the section where it says 'what can student improve on?' the teacher had written 'student needs to speak with less sarcasm and dark humor and improve her spelling' (it had my name.. not student.. but eh.. I'm such a internet prude)
SenkoTwiik:
My "improvement" thing was always penmanship. My stupid, old 5th grade teacher tried to grade me on it when it WASN'T a school approved thing to grade on. She decided to try going over the school's rules and gave me a D- 'grade' on my handwriting. My mom thought it was stupid and told the teacher so, said she "didn't know why the teacher feels like she needs to waste my time with grades that don't even exist. How childish, and she's supposed to be a teacher?!" Needless to say this same teacher had a whole bunch of problems with me throughout the year.
Here's an answer I gave in her class. I didn't find it on a paper, but I was going through one of my old journals from 5th grade, remembering all the good times I had with my friend (who passed away earlier this year) and I found a segment where I was talking about a math test. Apparently the teacher wrote a really hard question on the test and I answered it with:
"You didn't teach us this."
