Only if I could tell jokes like Mitch Hedberg told them. Sigh, Mitch R.I.P.Goldfishdude wrote:Teak.... you may wanna start thinking of quitting that day job of yours, and hitting the clubs with that humor!!!
I have taught high school and college-age students for 21 years now, so I think that I have that mindset down quite well.
One anecdote. My first girls volleyball team had some nice-looking ladies who went with the big hair popular in the 1980s (this was around 1986). At our first tournament, where we finished 6th out of 8, some high school boys from another school kept coming to our matches. Afterwards, while the girls were in the showers, these boys came up to me and started a conversation. It went something like this:
"Hi, coach. Good team you got."
"Really?" I responded. "We only finished 6th; but, yeah they did pretty well for their first tournament."
"Gosh, coach, your team was our favorite. We were rooting for you."
"Gee, thanks; that was nice of you."
"Yeah, your girls might not have been the best, but they were the purtiest."
When I told my team about the conversation, they asked me to point out the boys who had made that statement (we were all watching the championship match). After seeing the boys, the girls went:
"Eeeeeewwwww; icky; gross me out........"
Gotta love'm at that age.
