“Teacher: ‘You missed school yesterday, didn’t you?’ Pupil: ‘Not very much!’”

A pun about “missing” school is:
 
TEACHER: You missed school yesterday, didn’t you?
PUPIL: Not very much!
 
The joke has been printed in many newspapers since at least 1942.
 
“Boss: ‘You missed work yesterday, didn’t you?’ Me: ‘Not particularly‘“ is a related joke.
