Funny Freshmen

This weekend, I was grading. I was grading a lot. It's a problem-solving paper they are writing, so the students were supposed to talk about a workplace problem, and they all have had the same problems. People who supervise pools are not nice to the lifeguards evidently, and every female at the school has been sexually harassed. These problems are just fine, but they get boring after a while. You would think that reading about other people's problems would be great, but it gets dull after a while (You've probably noticed this with regards to my blog). Anyway, then along would come these priceless ones.

Like the one where the workplace problem was that the manager had published all of the waiters and waitresses social security numbers on the back of the menu, and nobody noticed for several weeks. That's not an ordinary workplace problem.

Or the student whose manager had started rubbing her shoulders one day. She decided to squirm out of his way while making a nice comment so that she would get out of the situation and not lose her job. So she ducked and twisted and got out of the way while saying "That feels good." This was all bad and not at all funny. But then the manager guy made his supposedly suave and sexy comment: "That feels good because I'm an expert in the fine art of kama sutra." The girl laughed and moved on to another job.
