In one of my high school english classes one of my teachers had a daily assignment. the assignment was to fill a block about ten lines in height and from margin to margin. In that block we had to describe what we had just read out of William Shakespear’s Julius Ceasar. I think one time i rambled on about sharpening pencils while eating a hotdog watching crabs crawl by.

I am in love with this, for some reason. Maybe because I just can imagine it actually happening. Now, I am going to listen to that song…
*is listening*
Oh Lord, that just makes it funnier…

I shared an office with a typography graduate. They are the most obsessive artists ever. Couldn’t type a letter without commenting on the font he was using.

End-of-term report at college, freshman year. On a simulation for a river and a sewage treatment plant. Glossy binder, &c. Title page, bannered title, four words. Said words composed of ‘S’s, ‘H’s, ‘I’s, and ‘T’s respectively.

Handed it in; the TA looked at it very oddly (it did look very slightly odd). A little while later, he’s howling in laughter.

ha. Years ago, my friend Bobby was taking night-classes in English. They would turn their projects in at the beginning of class and while working on new assignments, the professor would read/grade them. Bobby wondered whether he could read that fast, it seemed like he was just flipping pages….So in the middle of one of his 5 page papers, he inserted the words ‘peanut butter’ into the middle of the sentence in the middle of page 3. He turned it in, and as usual, the prof read/graded them during class. Bobby was supprised by his grade A-, and the note “Peanut butter?” at the end of the last page.
