I heart stupidity. When you see it, post it here. I'll start.

Some of you know that I've do some teaching of first year sociology students in university. I really enjoy it, and love my students, but -GAWD- grading their work is a nightmare.

Through the course of a year, they have to write short essays on a range of topics ---feminism, Karl Marx, education, Freud, crime, etc. I feel kinda guilty laughing at these because of course they are writing under extreme pressure, but holy bobo I find them funny! Every so often, they write something so frickin' hysterical that it makes me gag laughing. These fleeting gems, I collect. Thought y'all might get a kick out of some of them.

Here we go. (nb, all typos and grammar boo boos are theirs from here on, not mine)

"Education is not really as old as many people think. It all came about in
the 1960s when the Russians were more advanced with outerspace."

"There is no evidence of women in society until the late 1990s"

"Freud is the classic theory of gender he believes the boy has the penis the girl has the clitoris simple as that"

"Freud said that a boy who plays too many dolls might be a p_ssy in later life"

"Feminists think women are the lowest of the low"

"Education is bias it only works for children who come from families where the parents are rich white and male"

"Hitlar believed in the destroying the Jews, however, his dictation only lasted until he was alive, after it was forgotten."

"Weber saw society from his eyes"

"someone from the low class is no good to us. we don't see them as nonsuccessful. That is because of sociology"

"Max Weber is a known and accredited sociologist"

"All around us in our society it is, said to be all around us these 'bureacracy' for example God is higher than Jeesus. The boss."

Oh, TK... I'm pretty sure Mapquest can give you directions for driving over either ocean. I mean, They tell you how to drive from New York to Paris, so why not?

My boyfriend and I were driving to dinner one night when we passed a tree that had been cut in some places to let a phone lines pass through it.
Him: Oh my god! Look at that tree!
Me: Um, yea, what about it?
Him: I didn't know they could do that!
Me: ???
Him: How did it know to grow around the phone lines like that?

Please keep in mind that I was 8 at the time of this story, and I was really tired...

My family and I were on our way back home in IL from LA, and we had been driving for about 8 hours. It was dark, and I was looking out the window. I kept seeing all these flashing lights up in the distance. They weren't stars, but I couldn't figure out what they were. So I asked my parents, "How do those lights get up there? The flashing ones?"

My parents looked at each other in shock. The lights? Cell towers.

;D

so i'm doing a class about childcare, and my teachers talking about looking after the babies. She's talking about how many times you're changing their nappies.

Teacher: "So, you've got 5 babies and your changing their nappies 3 times a day... *looks around blankly* whats that..."
Random student: *murmers* um...15
Teacher: "Right... 25. That's a lot of nappies"

cue the whole class to look at her...

and this woman's meant to be teaching us stuff :O

I died laughing like a dead duck. Not like that metaphorical dead duck, but like an actual dead duck, which had died because it had stepped on a land mine or something.


ROFL!!!
