    Reminds me of a photographer I used to work with who always responded, "Nut bag," instead of, "Not bad," whenever someone asked how he was doing. Few people ever noticed.

    Her ignorance aside, YF actually raised a fair point. Kids absolutely use situations like that to be disruptive in a classroom, so how she said it does matter.

    My favorite thing to do when someone is on a sneezing fit.
    First sneeze: "Bless you"
    Second sneeze: "Bless you again"
    Third sneeze: "OK, now you're just being annoying"

    Did the teacher at least know what the fuck an integer is? [/crossthread]

    Isn't that what you finger someone with?

    Bless you is not religious. It's manners. It's what most of us were taught as kids to say when someone sneezes.

    The teacher is an idiot.

    Chances that the teacher actually said that: about 2%

    Yes because all the Christians are liars.

    Finds gesundheit an acceptable compromise.

    I'm a Christian.

    98% of teenagers are liars. Especially when they get in trouble.

    My bad (on the list of can't use words), Christian girls in Tennessee are liars. Teachers always tell the truth.
