Should I be here?
« on: November 29, 2009, 07:27:53 AM »
Ok, just joined. Not too sure how I found this place and I'm definitely no geek.

However, I'm practising so figuring this might be a good place to start.

Of course, it could be there's nothing 'geeky' (in my understanding of the word) about any of this, in which case, I'm probably just making an arse of myself.  :w:

Ah well off to have a nosey about.

Hello. I don't think I'm a geek, either. Just like I wasn't a hacker.

   Ditto. Nor a network, or an org.

Does this mean I'll end up being a hacker? Or a network? Or an org?

Somehow that sounds altogether too techie for my brain so I'll assume I'm safe. :-P

You don't have to be geeky.  But funny helps.

Like this!!

Today in Geometry, I was teaching the ways to prove two triangle are congruent.  Of course, you have to mention how Angle-Side-Side (ASS) doesn't work.  The kids who have taken the class before know the joke already...NO ASS IN THIS CLASS!!!!  Well, since they took my line, I said, "well, that's debatable".

The class is so full of asses, that I don't think anyone even heard me!  Except for the co-teacher.  She laughed in agreement.
