A friend of mine earlier forwarded me this panel from the FoxTrot cartoon strip. I can recall considering something like that in a similar situation back when, but decided that (since it is text) it could be done better in perl.
My best guess (which I have attempted to conceal, for those who want to try it themselves) is below, at 70 chars total, but I am by no means a golfing pro-how can it be done better?
perl -e 'print "I will not throw paper airplanes in class.\n" x 500'

Update: Juerd beat me to posting regarding this, but I'd still like to see it golfed....

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
