Whispering at the back of the classroom...
...during a year 11 lesson on the Wild West.
Miss Flower: So, if you were starving to death in the middle of winter on top of a mountain while trying to find California would you kill and eat me first or our Native American guide?
Mr Ringo: I think I'd just go for whoever was fatter.
Miss Flower: So that would probably be me then?
Mr Ringo: Probably, yes. What about you?
Miss Flower: Ohhh, it's a tough one. I mean I like you and everything and you do make me laugh, but I think the guide might be more useful to me alive in the long run....
Mr Ringo: Yes but if he was that good, why would be lost in the first place?
Miss Flower: True... true... maybe I would eat him then, and keep you a bit longer to cheer me up.
Mr Ringo: It's irrelevant really though, isn't it, because at the end of the day you wouldn't get a chance because you are the weakest, and probably the tenderest so we'd well have eaten you first anyway.
Miss Flower: MMMmmmm... Hang on. SETTLE DOWN NOW YEAR 11, NO TALKING PLEASE, YOU SHOULD BE WORKING IN SILENCE FOR THIS PERIOD. THANK YOU. I just can't believe you'd eat me Sir. I mean where's the loyalty you big fat cannibal? BOYS, PLEASE - I SAID NO TALKING!
Mr Ringo: So, where do you stand on the emancipation of women?

(7.10.04 19:18) Very different... Too different to call. |

(7.10.04 19:22) Wild West lessons - I love love love those. It's not on my syllabus this year though, boo. Wait until you start on the History of Medicine, the conversations get even more random and bizarre! x |

(7.10.04 19:23) I am sensing your time at school was not as gloomy as some of us' then ;-) |
|
(7.10.04 19:24) Are you teaching these sprogs about the Westward Migration and the Donner Party and all that? I remember seeing a program about it on the TV once. All gruesome stuff. D. |

(7.10.04 19:26) Beso - I'm already deciding whether I could have my arm amputated while awake or whether I would rather die of gangrene! pc - Absolutely... go to the top of the class! |
