Quote of the Day (4/20)

 Student 1: "Mister, do you celebrate today?"

Student 2 smirks as he watches and listens closely for my response.

Me [knowing that Student 1 is asking about four-twenty]: "Whose birthday is it?"

Student 1: "No! It's not a birthday."

Me: "So is it a holiday?"

Student 1 [getting frustrated that I'm not playing along]: "No. You know what day it is."

Me: "Sure. It's one-fifth day. I already celebrated on January 5th."

Student 1 thinks about it and starts laughing.

Student 2: "What? What are you guys talking about...ohhhhhhhh. Leave it to Mister to make this into a math joke." (4/20/23)

Quote of the Day (P-Building)

 Student 1 begins complaining about how it smells like someone peed in the stairwell right by my class (Y-Building).

Student 2: "Yeah. I didn't want to walk by it again so I walked all the way to W-Building to come upstairs."

Student 3: "They should just call this P-Building already." (4/14/23)

Quote of the Day (signs)

 Student 1 walks into class after being absent the last few days.

Student 2 and Student 3: "Hey!" "Student 1 is back."

Student 4: "Where were you?"

Student 1: "I was sick."

Student 4 [jokingly]: "Did you have COVID?"

Student 1: "No, I tested positive."

Students 2, 3, and 4 all recoil and keep their distance.

Student 1 [looking around]: "What?"

Student 2: "Why are you at school if you have COVID?"

Student 1: "I don't have COVID."

Student 3: "But you said you tested positive."

Student 1 [thinks and finally realizes]: "Yeah, doesn't it mean you don't have...oh, never mind. I meant to say I tested negative. I just got my signs mixed up." (4/10/22)
