Teacher, to presenter: So, Student1. Whaddya wanna do? You wanna go first? You know what? Toss the Boss. *produces coin and flips it*
I, sitting beside him: Hey Teacher, you forgot to say what the stakes are for each side.
Teacher: No, it's Toss the Boss. I toss it, she calls it.
Student2: Teacher, do you know what that means?
Teacher: Yeah, I got to do it in the pub the other day. You play Toss the Boss and if you win, you get a free beer!
*class roars with laughter*
Student3, in a matter-of-fact tone: It's refering to an Act of Fellatio
Teacher: NO! I used it on my other class, they told me it means "toss you bartender, i get a free beer!"
Student3: no, it doesn't.
Teacher: It... I didn't... They said...
Student3: We know you're innocent...
Student2: You've been had. They told you that so that you'd use it again and again. Don't. Just don't.

And finally... at long last, after a year or more of flirtation, i have fallen in love with XKCD comics.
Some recommendations (hover your mouse over them for extra humour):
"There's no choir of angels when you meet the right person"
On remembering names
"No one told you because you're so cute when you get into something."
Good Advice for life: Why are you looking so dignified?
Wikipedian protester damn, i think i'm going to make an icon of that one.
The Tape Measuring Championships
OH HI I'M FROM THE INTERNET

I think you meant this (http://www.xkcd.com/77/) one for the LJ addiction.

"Commitment," the angels one? Yeah. Yeah.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

[gryphonvere.livejournal.com]

The stuff in there is most amusing. =D

I think I feel more famous to get a mention on your LJ!

I just saw my STARmeter is down 5% since last week. Needless to say I'm crushed.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

I used to read xkcd, but I forgot about it a while ago. :( I do so love it though. Especially the math-ish ones for some reason. Go figure.

And the "romantic" ones are adorable. The first one is less Standard Cute than the others, but they're all adorable.
