Year 12 English class. People are being called up to do their orals - something I, of course, haven't prepared.
I get called up. 'Okay,' I think to myself, standing up and grabbing a couple of whiteboard markers on my way to the front of the room. I draw the axes of a graph on the whiteboard, and label them - the X axis is 'whaling,' and the Y axis is 'good.' I then draw a straight line, diagonally up from one corner of my graph to the other.
"Whaling," I say, pausing ever so slightly as I turn to face my classmates, "is good. Mkay?"
I step back slightly, allowing them to see my graph. "As you can clearly see," I explain, gesturing at the relevant parts, "the amount of Good is directly proportional to the amount of Whaling. Thank you."
I cross the room and sit back down in my chair.
A beat.
The room erupts into laughter.

What lies. You got the teacher to get you the markers, you didn't grab them on the way up!
/loss of respect.
