One Hump or Two

Quote for the day
We used to call it gossip, these days they call it networking.
Some of them have two

The text book lesson was word association.
Famous opera house - Australia
Eiffel tower - France
Koala - Australia
Camel... The class went silent. No one seemed to know what a camel was.
I tried to explain; I drew on the board and explained: an animal with two...
"Tit's," one of my students interrupted me.

I tried to elaborate: "some of them have one hump, others have two humps."

The class was rolling in the isles with laughter.
I had a very puzzling look. What did I say to create such an uproar.
Actually I was quite pleased that I had every student's attention.

As I later learned the Thai language has a similar sounding word pronounced humm, meaning... penis.

O.K. now I know why they had a good laugh.

Think I'll add hump day and humpback to next weeks lesson plan.
Or how about humming a song

Anything to keep their attention


Did you notice the Viking Invasion of Sakon
It was quite a pleasant experience according to ScandAsia
