Discussions in Class

Overheard conversations while watching the movie Cannery Row with 11 senior boys suffering from senioritis.

After seeing Nick Nolte, complete with mustache, Jacob (complete with a mustache himself) shouts out: "Hey! That's me!" The screen flashes to an ugly looking octupus. Jacob cries: "And that's Rhett!" The screen flashes to a scantily clad woman: "And that's Lucas. Wow! Look at the legs on Luke!"

After Nick Nolte swears, the class unanimously gasps in mock shock.
Me: "Do we need to take out our mature caps and secure them tightly to our heads."
(Various students mumbling to each other): "Our what?"... "I've lost mine"... "Lost it? You never had it!" ... "What the hell's a mature cap? Is that like a tampon?"

Your students are geniuses... almost.
