We were discussing various ‘crimes of the century’ (as we have them every year or two now) and my classes were looking over summaries of the cases. This led to a great deal of amusement at times.
“So, basically Dahmer had sex with these men, strangled them, cut them up, drilled holes in heads, ate parts of them, had sex with the bodies…”
“TEN-FOUR!”
(Discussion of the Dahmer case, with actual student interjection.)
“Our case is about when Harry shot Sally. I mean, Stanford.”
“When he got back from Canada he was ok, and un-insane.”
(Two quotes from student presentations. Actually, I believe it was the same presentation.)
“Shake your Laffy-Taffy, Mr. Barner.”
(Random statement by a student that temporarily caused the entire class to grind to a screeching, giggling halt.)
They’re nothing if not entertaining.
