Knew there must have been a simpler way there somewhere.  I make no
pretensions of being anything remotely approximating a haskell guru :-/

(That can't be perl, I can read it.)

Thinking about it, the same would probably work in Python too, with a
minor syntactical variation:

print 500*"I will not throw paper aeroplanes in class.\n"
