should send this one into Reader’s Digest
I’m confused – is it true that the teacher’s goal ISN’T lying to students for his or her own amusement?
if I didn’t look so dang lovable
This story is absolutely true. Not the fact that my heart is a black emptiness powered by hatred, but the exchange that I had with the student. It was a grade 9 science class that I used to work in, and the student was one that I enjoyed bantering with (or else I very likely would not have said what I did).
On a related note, I learned to accept a long time ago that I am almost completely unable to intimidate anybody that I really want to. As the alt-text says, ah well! [February 9, 2012]

There’s this joke I like to do while I’m talking to people, which is that I tell them something I’m not going to say (and thereby say it anyway). For instance, if a friend of mine does something silly, I’ll say “A lesser person than me might say that you just did something incredibly stupid, but I’m not judgmental like that.” The last panel of this comic is a nice visual example of that same style of humour. The best part is that I can just stick to the “high road” and say “yes, but you see, I didn’t go there! I even crossed it out!” [January 11, 2012]
