Quote of the Day (misreading)

"Mister, what does 'me noose' mean?" - Completely baffling question coming from TWO different intermediate students today. When I looked at where they were pointing, I saw the source of confusion, the word "minus". (To be fair, I did give them a strict time limit in translating word problems into math symbols and numbers that caused them to read quickly) (12/7/11)
