Anyone just about bring down the house in class, that is, cause the entire class to fall over laughing? Seems I did it unintentionally a few years ago.
I was still going to the local community college, and I think it was my second semester there. I borrowed a fiber optic cable from a friend and put it in my jacket pocket with a flashlight and went to class. I pulled out both and the entire classroom promptly went to pieces.
I was told later by a classmate that right at the same time I was pulling them out, the instructor said; "...we don't have fiber optic cable so I can't demo it..." I had also completely missed my interpreter telling me what the instructor said. The instructor just kept talking like normal.
Anyone do something like this unintentionally?

Wow, what a way to mess up a class for the instructor. I sure hope the instructor did not know it was you that did it. If so, what happened? Grins.
Oh, he knew, but didn't acknowledge it. Hard to miss me since I'm right in front. I just pull it out and hold it up a little, then the class falls down. He comes over and takes it and does the demo.
I didn't realize the entire classroom had died, only hearing one person behind me laugh. It was another classmate on AIM who told me more.
I'll do another similar post soon about a presentation I did that really brought it down.
