Charge 7
Master Gunner
Okay, reading the "Favorite Subjects in School" thread and rotc boy's latest post to the "Some People" thread made me think of this.
This happened in biology class. The teacher was talking about tree growth and had put together some cross sections of tree trunks to show us. You should note that the very center of a tree is called the "pith". Evidently somebody had taken a metal probe or something to one cross section and damaged it. The teacher held up the cross section and said, "Hey! Somebody knocked the pith out of this!" I couldn't stop laughing! Other students looked confused at first but then caught on to what I'd found funny. Tears running down my face and still laughing my ass off I was ejected from the class.
