What’s the Weirdest Ad I can get?
I would first like to begin this rant by saying sorry. It is taking me way too long to post new material lately since I have been so bogged down by work. Who ever thought that teaching seventh grade would be so tough. That is correct, I teach when I’m not exploring the haunted caverns of the insane, and it’s no picnic. The main problem is that seventh graders are proof that man is still evolving. They are in fact barely human, and that’s grading on a curve since Hollywood considers Amy Weinhouse human. They don’t’ listen, they don’t care, and they have a total disregard for authority. They remind me a lot of me. The worst was when I gave an open book test with the question “The ______ Pumps blood and is made of cardiac tissue.” This question seems so simple; no, the answer is not penis for the drunken idiot who accidentally got to this website while actually looking for porn. Yet this student got the wrong answer, but the worst part was is that she didn’t answer vein, artery, or capillary. This student wrote the answer was carbohydrate. The student thought that a bowl of pasta is what was keeping her alive. Her answer would make more sense if the question what had pumped sauce throughout the body. The even more interesting part is that when I looked back at the student file, and saw what the student wanted to be, my brain nearly grabbed his suitcases and walked out saying it had given up trying. The student wants to be a doctor. Let me repeat that with more dramatic emphasis… A Doctor (dun dun dun music plays). I can only imagine the student’s future office, “I’m sorry sir but you need a new heart, luckily I haven’t eaten my lunch yet and have this extra sandwich. I need an OR stat.” Any way I went way off topic of what I was setting out to write about today, which was that every time I write about something i get an ad related to it. I was going to write weird stuff to try to get strange ads, but went off topic but isn’t that what ranting is really all about.
