Lungs aren't that important anyway

My supervisor hacked up a lung today. Just hacked it up, in the middle of class. It fell to the floor at my feet, and rather than pick it up and put it on ice, she continued with class. You can’t interrupt class for a lost lung. A larger body appendage or internal organ, perhaps. A lung, no. We played Bingo. We played Bingo on top of the lung. It was sick and sad and morbid and nauseating, all rolled into one horrible hour of teaching. One student wore a paper clip in his mouth like a retainer. I ask, who wants to wear a retainer?…or stick sharp metal objects in their mouth? Maybe a culture which places no emphasis whatsoever on dental hygiene is fascinated with such abstract concepts as straight teeth, braces, matching clothes, respect for students, cooked food, a snow shovel!

Dude, somebody’s got to save me from my own devices.

So, HEY, super fun post, right?

I want to see a pirate. Just once.
