Today I became just a little bit more glad that I no longer write for the-website-formerly-known-as-msnbc.com (where my punniest tv article was a 'front page feature' for them in 2006)
I was teaching a math class yesterday and a guy sitting in the back asks me a question:
"Do you prefer nice girls or bitches?"
Of course the entire class giggles at this. This was really a few minutes before class started so he wasn't interrupting anything and he was not being hostile but trying to bond with me. Of course it didn't help that when I taught them how to solve inequalities like "7 <= 3x+4 < 19" I referred to them as threesomes. It also helps to understand that the guy and maybe 90% of the class is Black/Hispanic and all of them are at least 40 years younger than white me. I noticed that he was reading a paperback "Why Men Don't Like Nice Girls but Choose Bad Bitches." This isn't the exact title (despite my putting it in quotes) and I just googled and couldn't find it among the enormous list of books on this particular subject.
I asked him if he was reading that to learn who he should like but he said it wasn't his but Mary's (sitting next to him.) I told him that our class wasn't advanced enough for that particular topic and that such books were written to sell to nice girls who were worried about their dating prospects.
I just hope no one wants to discuss the mathematics of penis size next class.
Any guy that has told me he has a large penis has either never seen a large penis or is lying. Let's not even start with how awkwardly it is inserted in...
...the conversation.
Who thought I'd go with intercourse?
I checked out a porn for gay men site once...maybe big is fine, but oversize ones just made me feel sorry for these otherwise good looking guys with this unfortunate deformity.
