-GCSE English Language class 2 years ago. -We are studying use of metaphor in journalism. -Set an article which describes the queue outside midnight launch of the final Harry Potter book as a "teenage human centipede". -Teacher is oblivious to the laughter, unaware of the film, thinks it is some kind of fantasy creature. -She asks "and where would you expect to find a human centipede?" -Friend next to me answers "in Germany." -Teacher looks confused, everyone laughing. Edit: Oh and my History class last year, Slightly-Backward-Tim asked (when discussing responsibility for the Holocaust): "I know this may sound a bit wrong... Could we... Could we blame the Jews?"
