Back on topic.

I took over the geography teacher's class one day near the beginning of the term. He is a good friend of mine and I decided to play a prank on the class with him as the centerpiece.

The class told me that all he does is mostly show movies and they thought he was a bit lazy. Note that this was grade 9 and pretty much all the students speak english very well. Some speak english at home even though they are Lao.

I asked them if they had ever seen a picture of teacher X when he was young. They said no. I told them to ask to see one. They asked why. I told them to look at the colour of his eyes. Now they are blue but when he was young they were very dark brown, like an Asian's eyes.

I told the kids that their teacher was so lazy when he was younger that he was actually to lazy to see and eventually went blind and had to have an eye transplant

They swallowed it hook line and sinker.

Then I told them that because he is still so lazy that when he is awake he has to keep reminding himself to breathe. But, when he is sleeping he cannot do so. Thus he has to sleep in an iron lung or he will die!!!

Again...success!

Class ended and I went to my friend and told him everything. We laughed and he decided to totally play it up.

The next day the kids were all over him and he played along to perfection. "I can't help it, it's a genetic problem" etc etc

So they decided to help and went to the computer lab to research the disease to help their teacher. Incredible!

They actually learned a lot about technology, transplants and lethargy due to various diseases.

We kept them on the string for a couple of weeks. After we told them the truth they were all shy but mostly said they never believed the story but only went along to play a trick on us

Lots of fun. My old man used to yank my chain something fierce when I was young.

only once many years ago I played a trick on a class of students.

it ws a class of mostly boys and they were always asking me what my shit looked like and smelled like and what colour it was.

one day I started saying "canadians dont shit" and I kept saying yes really whenever they asked really?

this caused a lot of confusion in my school and eventually a teacher who could speak english came up to me and said "really!?"

I was so embarassed and saddened by them that I never made any jokes again

Am I the only one here who thinks these kind of sarcastic replies and hoddwinkers, while hilarious (and I'm guilty of it too), are partly responsible for the stereotypes and negative perceptions of NETs? Is praying on people's gullibility really something to share stories about?

Well I am going to...Instead of telling people I was adopted, I just told them that I had two mommies and two daddies....then it became four mommies and four daddies....and I was taken out of each's womb.

But I make sure not to tell these kind of whoppers to any of my students or sober adults...only with my non-mob affiliated Korean drinking buddies. Credibility and maturity has to be maintained.
