chuckles

Just a couple of "funnies" I encountered recently:

1) Today I saw my grade 8 math teacher being interviewed on CBC's The National!! Funny how the memories of multiplying and dividing fractions came flooding back to me all too well...

2) Speaking of which, about a month and a half ago I saw my old high school gym teacher being interviewed on The National as well! I knew from the moment that he looked the journalist in the ey- hold that thought...he never looked anyone in the eye. Ever.

3) The other day in my Journalism class, my prof read through the entire genealogy of Jesus from the book of Matthew telling us to meditate on it: "So and so was the father of so and so...." and so on and so forth... How does one meditate on a family tree? (And who doesn't stumble on names like Abijah? He must practice). Just when we thought he was done, he kept going! Me and my fellow buddies (Cam & Kaiten) could NOT for the life of us tell if he was being serious- we half expected him to suddenly stop and roll out the punch line like he so often does. Needless to say, we were dying on the verge of bursts of laughter.

4) Today has been utterly unproductive. Other than writing approximately 300 words in an article for my magazine, I've done piddley squat. Weird thing is, I've been antsy all day too.

I guess that last one isn't that funny... But I guess it could be if we tally up the hours I spent doing nothing, in which case it would kind of be a sad funny.

No- actually, scratch that, it's just sad.
