2/18. "My dad's a teacher and he said a student once asked him what he did for a living."...

9/18. "My friend's dad was teaching a health class to middle schoolers. And one kid tried being a smart ass and said, ‘Mr. Henderson have you ever had sex without using a condom?’ Friends dad replied, 'Yes, I have two children.' And the kid says, 'Yeah but did you ever have sex without a condom?'"...

12/18. Teacher: "Dave, can you please write x + 9 on the whiteboard?"

Dave: "How do you spell x?"

1. I used to teach on the college level

One day, I had just finished explaining something, and I noticed that one of my students, Lisa, had her hand up and was acting really eager to ask a question.

"You have a question, Lisa?"

"Yes," she said breathlessly. "Where did you get your belt?"

2. Not me, but a high school math teacher

He had the advanced placement and the remedial classes, and he told us of one remedial class where they had been working with circles, finding the area, and all that geometry jazz. He was about to hand out an exam, and gave his usual, "Anyone have any questions before I give you the quiz?" A hand went up. "Yes?" "Yeah. Okay. What's that double t thing mean?" Double t? Double t? "You know, that double t thing that you've been writing on the board all the time. What is it?"

"You mean pi?" (Writing the Greek letter on the board) "Yeah, what is that?"

It's a little unnerving to watch a grown man cry.

3. Queen Dildo instead of Queen Dido

6. Or "orgasm" instead of "organism" n/t

4. My cousin had a student who brought a dildo to her school.

Not making this up either. That happened.

5. Was the school in Newfoundland, by any chance?

7. My Sr. Year of HS, we read 'Hamlet' and 'Macbeth'

On the final exam, I confused the names of two characters and wrote an answer that at least sounded familiar to me:

Fleance + Horatio = Fellatio

I had to do a lot of convincing that it was an innocent mistake...

8. "When is the Fourth of July?"

[KamaAina]

9. Or, "Does England have a Fourth of July?"

No, they go right from the third to the fifth!

10. It reminded me of Homer Simpson's, "What is the number to 911?"

11. I'm sorry, but...

...a lot of these sound like BS.
