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.
