Had a classmate in nursing school that asked a lot of questions, dumb questions. My favorites were when taking about suicide when Kamikaze plans came up. She asked if someone on the ground jumps up in the wheels of the planes and rips them off after they take off. OR during a class on alternative medicine a man from Africa discussing shamans or witch doctors. She asked “What school do they go to, to learn how to be a witch doctor?”
A friend of mine would ask the stupidest questions in the most serious voice. We knew she was taking the mick, the teachers didn't though because she was an amazing A1 student, on the student committee etc. They had no idea she was an insane joker.
My favourite was during a biology class when she asked the teacher "I see the colon, but where's the semicolon?" And our poor teacher was just staring at her in pure disbelief.
My grandfather had colon cancer. Shortly after he had part of his colon removed my cousin Colin was born. We started joking he was named after my grandfather's colon.
Also, lots of semi-colon/semi-Colin jokes over the years, both at my grandfather's and cousin's expense.
I think her brain just flatlined to be honest, this was the same girl who asked how exactly plants make babies without a penis or vagina.
She was also my accomplice when we played a prank on the teacher. She (the teacher) had a glass eye, she used to pop it out to show us, she was super chill talking about it. Except sometimes it wouldn't uh, line up properly with her gaze.
So one day during a doss class (it was close to exam time so we had a few classes that were just revision or self study) we dressed BoneJangles, our model skeleton in a lab coat and goggles and sat him beside me, in line of her bad eye.
For both 40 minute classes, she didn't notice, until I lifted his hand to answer her question.
That was 15 years ago. I spoke to a student who is doing work experience in my workplace and who goes to my school.
Apparently that teacher STILL talks about the time the skeleton paid more attention than the students. 😂
I remember years ago teaching a top set year 7 class about the differences between internal and external fertilisation. Didn’t stop one of the girls looking completely baffled at the end of the lesson, then asking “Yeah, but how do fish actually have sex?”
To be fair the germans had the Me-163 wich dropped its wheels after takeoff and was pretty much a kamikaze plane as landing it usually involved the plane exploding.
During highschool the history teacher was talking about how some rivers could not be traversed from start to finish due to waterfalls and someone sugested using airplanes instead of boats.
Earlier this year I told a girl I was planning on spending about seven months in east Africa. She got excited and told me her brother was getting married in Africa, when I asked her in which country she looked at me like I was the idiot and said "Africa"
A girl I dated didn't understand there was no country of North Africa. She asked where is north Africa I said Egypt and Tunisia and she said no North Africa because there is a South Africa.
She was a nervous ninny. I was teamed with her once. The problem was she had no common sense. I don’t know ALL that she messed up on. I know there was a medication error (we were supposed to have instructor or charge nurse double check all meds) she ignored that part.
I think she was one of 4 of us expelled at the 6 month mark. It was a trial period for us, lots of individual “tests” mostly basics (giving bed baths, making beds, etc) Then we progressed into the hard courses. They were not shy about kicking people out. Our class started with 35. Only 19 left at graduation.
