In a graduate school class, we had one student who was generally a pain in the butt (PITA). We were in a class w/a hot looking professor, natural blonde, blue eyes, tall & slim, kinda like my old girlfriend K____.
I think the class was talking about birth control, I dunno why, something having to do w/population control and societal costs. The annoying student had been making his presence known that evening.
I raised my hand, and began speaking about the importance of using birth control to keep unwanted children from being born, & how they caused $$$ problems for society as they grew. Costs of AFDC (Aid for Families with Dependent Children), welfare, crime costs to victims if unwanted children turn to crime, law costs (court, police, prisons) when they commit crimes, etc. So I said, ?because of all these reasons, we all need to do whatever we can to prevent unwanted children, You,? I pointed to the PITA student, ?do you use birth control methods to prevent unwanted births?? He said he did. Then I asked him, ?and do you choose a condom as your most-often used method of birth control?? Again he responded in the affirmative.
?What was the serial # on the last condom you used?? I asked him.
He bit, big-time, hook, line, & sinker. ?Uh I dunno,? he said, ?I didn?t have a serial number that I saw.?
?Oh,? I exclaimed, ?so you didn?t have to roll it out far-enough to see it!? I triumphed.
The class started roaring in unison, even the girls were laughing. The teacher couldn?t help herself, she was laughing too. The PITA was beet-red and dared not say anything. The professor said something to re-focus on the subject of discussion and back we went, on-topic.
At mid-class break, several of my fellow students came up to me and thanked me for actually getting the PITA to stop talking for once. It was a great comic interlude.
