batskeetsI was reading these over lunch: I am a Japanese School Teacher. Some weird stuff, yes, but SO FUNNY. (yanked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xplo)
I'm not sure why the guy's so shocked by things like the sex questions or the penis fixation, though. Middle school kids are perverts, y'all! Pretty much everyone goes through a phase, at some point between 7th and 10th grade, where every single phrase that comes out of any person's mouth at any given time can be twisted into something sexual.
This is the point in one's life when everything down below starts acting squirrely for no apparent reason that these kids can conceive! They don't initially know how to deal with it, and they obviously can't ignore it, so they're pretty much guaranteed to blindly flail around doing strange and sometimes spectaculary stupid things to shed some light on this Great New Mystery.
It seems as though these Japanese kids are a lot more direct about it than any middle schoolers I've ever met, though, so maybe *that's* where the shock comes in. When I was at that stage, there was a lot of mumbling and snickering, sure. However, when it came to even mentioning it around an adult--the one kind of person who might actually have real and useful information about the subject, of course--it was just too embarrassing to even discuss. Asking adults a direct question about adult genitalia? *Totally* out of the question. But hey, just because curious American 8th graders aren't aggresively grabbing at your wang doesn't mean they aren't still wondering how theirs measures up by comparison.
Incidentally, "biggu dikku" is probably easier for a Japanese kid to say than, "guddo moaningu/moruningu". Seriously. ;p
ANYWAY, I have a phone on my desk now, finally! The cord is much too short, but hopefully they'll remedy that soon. I also have the easiest extension to remember in the history of forever. Unfortunately, it is also 1 digit off from the extension for the conference room. So, I'm thinking I'll get at least one misdirected conference call at some point during the tenure of my employment here. ::sigh:: Of course, I rarely use the phone anyway, so what am I complaining about?
I am super-tired and headachey today, but I need to train. That stupid cold kept me from my workouts for a good 5 days. BLAR. I can't go letting myself get all squishy and wussy during tournament season. :p Still, going home and sleeping sounds reeeeally good right now.
And now, your obligatory dopey quiz:

You scored as Remus Lupin. Your alter ego is Remus Lupin. You are a wise and caring wizard and a good, loyal friend to boot. However sometimes in an effort to be liked by others you can let things slide by which ordinairly you would protest about.
