Boolean Faux Pas

First off, I hadn't noticed how long it had been since my last post. Bad blogger. As the end of school nears, fewer of my brain cells are active. As demonstrated in the following tale.

The latest topic in my computer science classes has been Boolean logic. (If you don't know what Boolean logic is, don't worry. All you need to know is that it involves operators like "and", "or", and "not".) We were going over a problem and I had to think up another example off the top of my head. So I wrote on the board: X and (Q and (P or N)).

Two guys in the back started snickering immediately. Curious, I asked them what was up. What I hadn't noticed was that I had written "porn" on the white board in front of the whole class. Yup. We all had a good laugh about it, then we finished the example, porn and all. By the way, the next example was X or (Q and (C or N)).

The computer teacher who teaches porn -- still laughing! What I really loved is that you just laughed with the kids - -that's awesome. Many wouldn't have done that. Yay for you!
