Funny Stuff

My math professor is a little, old, Asian man who has a bit of an accent and doesn't always put an "s" on the end of his plural words. He doesn't usually joke around but once in a while he'll throw a little humor out there.
Friday he finished the lesson for the day and decided he was going to introduce the next lesson. He wrote some things on the board and explained them then asked us if we all understood. We all just sat there like every other time he asks us if we understand. He nodded his head and said "yes..." and then shook his head as he said "...or no". When most of us still didn't do anything he pointed to the first row (which happened to be the row I sit in) and he said "You five! You understand?" We nodded. He pointed to the second row and asked the same thing and continued this through the entire room calling out a guy with the last name of Harrison and another guy across the room.
When we all said we understood, he said you're like vacuum cleaner, you get them all... just suck it all up". Then he told us that he was going to put something on the board and since we all understood we should be able to tell him what the answer was. Someone raised their hand and tried answering. They started saying it and the Prof said nope that's wrong. Someone else raised their hand and the same thing happened. Then someone just started blurting out an answer and the professor asked her if she had a hand. So she raised her hand and started saying and answer and he didn't let her finish before saying she was wrong too. Then Harrison raised his hand and started telling him what he thought it was. The professor said that it wasn't right either and Harrison said "oh I think I made a mistake" and the professor replied with "I think you did, that why you got wrong answer". It was hilarious and we all started laughing.

Yesterday at work Sherry had me cutting onions. She told me what I needed to get and where stuff was and then came back to show me how she wanted them cut. Before she started cutting them, she took out a pair of goggles to keep her from tearing up. They're black and neon green and kinda look like sunglasses with a bit of foam on the insides to seal off your eyes. They're pretty funny looking but work pretty good (yes I ended up wearing them). I had to cut 8 quarts on onions and Sherry and Darrel were both in and out of the back where I was. Darrel came back first and I guess didn't see me just started asking me if I was crying yet. I started to reply and he said "oh I guess not... you got the goggles." Then he told me he has a picture of Sherry wearing them and he wants to put it on the website (www.burritts.com) with a weird little voice saying "Have you taken the Burritt's tour yet" since it's something Sherry is ALWAYS asking new costumers. I laughed and suggested maybe putting up a virtual tour with each employee wearing the goggles and each showing a different room.

I got yelled at at work today. I worked noon to close (about 6) and while I was vacuuming, Darrel asked if I'd taken a break. I said no, not really. And Sherry was like next time you tell us we're working you too hard and you're going on break. A bit later Sherry asked me if I'd even gotten anything to eat. I said "yeah, I had some soup" She said about how long ago that had been (it was shortly after I had gotten to work that I had it). Then she asked I wanted a treat to take home; as temping as it was I said no. After Sherry told me to pack up and head home that I'd worked enough today and was a big help and all that sorta stuff she reminded me to write my hours on the sheet. I said ok and Darrel told her that she didn't have to worry about me, I worked for Andrew so knew how to take care of that stuff. It made me smile
