Funny!!

So, class today had my table partner and I in stitches!  We received our last tests back and both of us did extremely well.  We are also in class everyday, have had our books since day one and bought the requisite calculators a couple of weeks ago.  We are also two of the oldest, if not THE two oldest people in our class.  Well, then there's "Joey".  "Joey" has yet to buy a book (and thus, can't do the homework!), he's in class maybe once a week and, well, obviously is NOT doing well in the class.  That does NOT stop his mouth from running!  Goodness me! does that boy have attitude and lip!  Class runs from 4pm-5pm and about about 4:57 Joey walks INTO class.  Not out of class to go home early, no, he walks into class.  Mind you, his mouth is running almost instantly.  One girl is always having to leave directly on time because of her bus schedule.  She asked for homework but the instructor wouldn't give it to her because we hadn't gone over how to do part of it.  At that, "Joey" asks, "Do you know what time it is?!" (At this point it is now 5:02 - a full 5 minutes after he's entered class!)  And there were other silly comments like, "So, do we need a calculator to do this?!" (We're doing square roots so it would be helpful!).  As class is ending and he's invited to look at his test he's chanting, "Praying for a good grade, praying for a good grade!"  My partner and I looked at each other and wondered how low it could possibly be.  Thankfully he has a big mouth and ego and he exclaimed it loud enough for us to know!  "A 10?!?!  I GOT 10 OUT OF 100?!?!  IS THAT WHAT THAT MEANS?!  HOW THE ***?"  He was reminded to watch his language and all we could do was laugh!  Seriously?!?  You don't show for class, you don't do the work, you put forth 0 effort and you expect more than a 10?  He's good for a laugh, but he also wastes my time and that makes mama bear mighty unhappy.  The best though is accusing the teacher of not knowing what time it was when he didn't bother showing up until class was over!!

Oh my, so sad for the wasting of somebody's money and everyone's time! He needs to have his daddy take him out behind the woodshed!
