My friend Joe is a clever bloke. He says some pretty good one-liners and the other week I was telling him how excited I was (for the 80 millionth time) to have two of my friends come to Korea. He was saying how it's really kind of funny because when our family and friends come to visit, we will have them pretty fooled into thinking we know what we're doing. Although there are times where I know what's going on, there are many others where I have not a clue. As he put it "they will look at us like we're martians, when they will have just gotten off the ship", which is brilliant. I could probably fool a few people into thinking I'm a martian...for a while. Then they would realize that most of the time, I'm actually still stuck on the dang ship.
He also told me yesterday that my volleyball serves were like "a boy with no arms throwing a beach ball". I even googled "best comebacks ever" and couldn't come up with one nearly as clever.
Fridays are a kick. I only have boys which is a drastic change from the girls. While the girls are hovercrafts, the boys just stare at me through the classroom windows during passing periods and run off screaming and laughing whenever I look at them. Today was "Game Day" where we play some kind of review game so they are put into teams and get to choose a team name which is always hilarious. One class had some money team names like S.A.N.G (Sexy And Nice Guys), S.A.H.G (Smart And Handsome Guys), KBS (Korean Broadcast System), and Miss Kim. My co-teacher here is also the funniest guy. Many Koreans will throw some extra vowels on the end of english words so you hear "lunchee" for lunch or "changee" for change. He's a very kickback guy and today one class was getting pretty wild so I told them to quiet down and when they wouldn't he says "Please-a be-a quiet. If-a you want to die, please-a keep talking." and I almost died. Of course he's kidding and all of the students love him but I wish people could see how funny it is when he says stuff like that.
Also, thought you all might like another commercial. This one's hilarious.
IS THAT FOR REAL?? That drink looked disgusting!! The woman dancing...oh dear :)
ReplyDeleteBA-NANANA-BA-NA-NA-NA-EEW! (now that song will be stuck in my head forever...keep 'em coming!) That old lady sure can shake what her momma gave her! NICE! Have you tried banana milk? Does it make you dance like that? If so, send me some!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that was one of the most thoroughly entertaining posts I've read thus far from you. We were repeating what your co-teacher was saying and splitting at the seams laughing. You-a are so-a funny! Anyway, as mother would say, "we digress". I wish we could come out to the land of the very few white people, but alas, we have insufficient funds. Seeya dood!
