(Physics class, and Teacher is directing the students about the experiment they are about to do that tests different liquids out of the selection available.)
Teacher: (Holding a small cup) ...And then you can fill this up with your chosen fluid. (Pauses) Ah, you know what, I just realised how bad that sounded. (Oddly the class gives her the silent treatment)
(Extended Project qualification. The assignment was to create a presentation telling people how to give a good presentation, which provided some great ironies as the best people to ask to give a good presentation are generally not 16/17 year olds, unless they have an uncanny amount of confidence like Ab. The first group is just on their first 'what not to do' point.)
Girl: (Slide reads 'Do not read from the slides'.) Don't - (Goes to read from the slide then realises the total hypocrissy of this. Everyone cracks-up good naturedly.)
(Philosophy and Cathy is listing Finis' '7 Basic Goods'.)
Cathy: ...play, knowledge, aesthetic experience (beauty)... Finis says that is any of these goods are not met, then the person is not living a fulfilled life.
Megan: So does that mean if you're ugly, you fail?
Ab: Huh? Where'd you get that from?
Megan: Cathy said beauty!

Haha, I love your blog, it is always very funny or thought provoking. I am familiar with the basic goods, but this adds a new meaning to them =)
