I wouldn't have expected this to turn into a debate on ethics, but I strongly disagree with Synonymous.

First, if I were to give a piece of advice with the word "NEVER" in it, it would be "NEVER intentionally do anything for which you could be incriminated."

Second, people are much more forgiving if you confess to your errors, especially if you do it before you are called on them. It gives you the reputation of being honest and forthright and of having a willingness to correct your mistakes. Hiding your trespasses and hoping they won't be discovered just eats at you from the inside and may haunt you long after the incident.

And, by the way, using sarcasm on teachers, parents and, in the future, bosses (such as asking how much was spent on instructor's gear) will most certainly make them angry with you, cause them to stop listening to you, and is one of the quickest ways to get in trouble.
