Where do they come up with this stuff?

L says, "My girlfriend is hairy like Chewbacca."

When J said something rude, K turns around to him and says, "Dude, does your brain have a funnel?"  After the class stopped laughing, they corrected him: "Don't you mean filter?"

In the middle of taking notes about thesis statements, W says, "Did you know I have $600 worth of Transformers?"  First of all, does he realize that Transformers have nothing to do with thesis statements?  Second of all, does he know how cool he just made himself sound?!?

While I'm giving a lecture on Dante, B stops and makes a needless comment (for the thousandth time), so I say, "B, keep writing!" (for the thousandth time)  B then says, "I thought it was a free country, but apparently not."  And continues to write.

I was quizzing kids for an upcoming test and throwing out candy to those students who got an answer right.  One of my girls who takes insulin shots frequently throughout the school day kept getting the answers right and the candy pile on her desk kept growing.  Finally she says to her classmates, "Sure, guys.  Let the diabetic get all the candy.  Thanks a lot."  - M

Happy March

The newest funny things the good ol' high school students have said:

-"My girlfriend cheated on my three times with two Mexicans and a black guy." -L  The only black guy in the room says, "Don't look at me!"

- When trying to get a piece of cake at lunch, D says to Ms. H, "Can I have a piece of cake? By the way, the color of your sweater really makes your eyes bounce."  (I think he meant to say, "makes your eyes dance.")

- One of the boys on the swim team said, "I'm wearing my Speedos under my pants and every time I walk uphill, they go up my butt!  It doesn't feel very good." -D

- Another boy asked me, "Ms. Black, who do you think is the ugliest guy in this whole class?" - E.  Of course I told him he was.  :)
