Je n'ai pas rien lecon francaise. =P

So yesterday i had the most amusing exam ever. It was my first french test, complete with a concurrent oral and listening compre. This teacher would come in every now and then and summon a fearful student to the gallo.... er, test room. Only, le professeur c'est francaise! So he must do it in styyyyle. How, i hear you ask?

Scene 1:
*door opens*
*french guy comes in, puts a foot on a chair to show off his addidas shoes and strikes a pose*
*teacher stares deeply into the eyes of this lady sitting first in the row*
"me? shit."
"ALLEZ!"
*exeunt with a flourish and a 'after you, madame'*

Scene 2:
*french guy leans against doorframe, staring at another student who's looking over her paper*
*student looks up and groans audibly*
"ALLEZ!"

Scene 3:
*door opens a crack*
*addidas shoe sneaks in and lifts up against the wall*
*voice from outside: 'ALLEZ!'*

and so at the speed the oral was going, we finished our paper before the orals, so the guy comes in, and takes a look at his last victim, and decides to hold the exam in the classroom itself with all of us there. And he switches off the lights, and locks the door ("pour ambience") and starts asking him some basic questions.
"What's your profession?"
"A teacher of chemistry."
*makes approving noises* "I'm a teacher too." *shakes hands*
"Where do you teach?"
"ACS." *class goes ooh*
"Are you married?"
"er, no.... no i'm not married." *in conspicuous complete sentences*
"WHYYYYYYYYYY?"
"er, because i single life like. because i like the single life..."
"Do you like lawyers?"
"uhhhh, yes?" *woman in class stifles laughter*
*points to some lady* "She's single too. Lawyer, teacher, lawyer teacher..... hmm."
*lady makes protesting noises*
"SHH! C'est un EXAMEN L'ORALE! *looks at her* Don't you like him? Teacher, ACS...... very stable!"
*looks at him* "Do you have a car?"
"uh, no...."
"Ahhhhh then no wonder."

and he proceeds to try and set him up with every single eligible female, heck, every single female in the classroom. Terribly amusing, but the poor guy, to his detriment, couldn't come up with very eloquent responses in french. But it was good entertainment. =)



And in other news, it's durian season! And rubbing your hands in salt after eating durians takes away the smell. Anyone can explain why? Adsorption? Some enzyme inhibition? All i know is that it works better than trying to mask the smell of it with scented soap.
