    Kid in my year who was a bit thick, and misspelt his name when signing a painting from art (Spelt McEvoy McOvey) - when slagged he ran out of the room shouting "ITS HARDER TO SPELL IN PAINTS!!"

    He was also the kid who asked myself and a mate what an erection was. He understood what a boner was, but couldnt link the fact that they were the same thing.

    A girl in my marine biology class when looking at a map of the world: Oh my God! All the oceans of the world are connected!

    Same girl, same class. We were taking a true or false test and numer 19 was a freeie - it said, "The answer to this question is false."
    Girl: I don't understand number 19
    Teacher (incredulous): Um... why?
    Girl: I don't know if it's true or false.
    Teacher: What does the question say?
    Girl: Well, it says the answer is false, but if it's true that it's false, shouldn't we put true?

    Still not sure if that was stupid or Shakespearian.

    With a question like that I think I'd probably put true too.

    usually anything involving religion.....one Fr. Kennedy in a south dublin school found Father Ted offensive and wouldnt let us watch it on trips away....yet he could very easily have been related to Fr. Dougal.....he used 2 ring his mother on the mobile and then pretend he didnt want to be talking to her, throwing his eyes up to heaven....sorry cudnt resist.....actually i wud'v said thats rather disrespectful on his part....the other priest in the school was far older and used to tell us to talk to god at least 20times a day and tell him we love him.....he was an arsehole....

    the principal of a previous school used to invite the guards in every halloween to talk to us about the dangers of fireworks....then once he decided to tell us his own story about how some student at a previous school where he worked threw a banger and frightened someone so much he jumped in front of a bus and was killed instantly.....took him about 20mins to stop the laughter....even the guard was in stitches!! :pac:

    Thats because he's still alive ... what he did was he faked his own death so that he could work undercover for the Hong Kong police infiltrating drugs gangs and The Triads

    A guy was asked by the teacher to name the organ that pumped blood around the body. His answer: The Brain. We laughed:D

    We convinced some guy that men had periods, and we all had them (boys school!). He went to the toilet and came back to us saying he just had his period - out of his hand!

    When I was very young it was the consensus amongst those in the know that women had babies out the "backdoor", knowledge of the other door being limited in availability at the time it did seem a sound assumption.

    I was once told I would never achieve anything, needless to say I make more now than that teacher every did.

    In fairness I was usually the one saying stupid things though.

    Dearest Varkov, it seem there has been a misunderstanding. I was simply replying to a question as to what the most stupid (shouldn't that read "stupidest"?) think I'd heard in school.

    That, by a comfortable margin, was it.

    I'm not entirely sure how living in Germany comes into it...?

    Girl in my Irish Class when i was in 6th year: Is the Irish Flag Green, White and Orange?

    Girl in my English class who was late for class:
    Teacher: Where have you been?
    Girl: I was talking to <Insert teacher of the class she walked into's name>
    Class: *Laughter*

    My Math teacher:
    Student No1 to student No2: What are you having for Christmas... Chicken(The student he was slagging was called Chicken because he bottled it when he was supposed to fight someone so we called him a chicken)
    Student No2: Shut up you Jew(Student No1 got the nickname Jew because he looked Jewish. I'll make sure you won't celebrate Christmas
    Student No1: I don't celebrate Christmas
    Me: That's because you're a Jew
    Techer: I want to see you after class
    Me: Why
    Teacher: Because that's racist

    I understand why he might have thought it offensive but it was actually true. Jewish people don't celebrate Christmas they celebrate Honakkah, but i guess he didn't understand the meaning of it.

    Garda College, Templemore.

    Chief comes in to lecture theatre to welcome new recruits. 'Have we any Dubs with us?' etc repeated for each major county in Ireland and a couple of backwater towns that the chief knew well. Then he asks 'Have we any friends from the north with us?' Cue one hand being raised. 'And what part of the six counties are you from?' he asks the girl with the hand raised sitting not two rows away from him. 'Donegal' she replies!:eek:

    1 of the lads strolls in about 15 mins late one day after lunch.

    Teacher says where have you been?

    aww miss ****ing dragon on pearse road couldn't get passed him.

    Teacher : sit down you dope.

    2 mins another guy strolls in

    again teacher where have you been?

    ****in dragon on pearse road

    she just shakes her head and tells in to sit down.

    From that day everyone used that anytime they were late for her class she left a few months later when she had an inspector in (think she was still doing the dip) one of the lads go up to her and says today miss is the day we ruin your career and for the whole class everyone kept shouting out stuff and every time she went to the board everyone changed seats, inspector just sitting there looking shocked.

    In sixth year the honours history class had a holocaust victim in as a guest speaker. We had a free class later on so one of the teachers that was at the talk was telling our Irish class all about the story the guy had told;

    Basically the guy remembered his mother carrying a bundle when boarding a train to Auschwitz, a Nazi Soldier grabbed the bundle and threw it in a bush and made her board the train...that bundle was the speakers little sisters dead body...

    Anyways, cue a hushed silence by the whole class...until it was broken by one guy who asked, dead serious: "And was that a TRUE story Miss?"
