For real, where else could you experience comedy that takes place every single second, like you can in the academic center? For example, just last week, two football players are working on assignments in my office; a few minutes later, a female golfer, who happens to be from Sweden, comes in. As soon as she and I start to talk, football player #1 gets excited. (Apparently, girls with accents are hot.) So here's the conversation that takes place:
Football Player #1: So, you're not from around here, are you?"
Girl Golfer from Sweden: No.
Football Player #2: I like your accent.
Girl: Thanks.
FB #1: Where are you from?
Girl: Sweden
FB #1: So you speak with a Swedish accent? (My thoughts: duh!")
Girl: Yes.
FB #1: I like it.
Girl: Thanks.
FB#2, ever so seriously: Do you like my accent? It's called "hood."
Okay, so now that I've typed out the entire conversation, I realize it won't be nearly as funny to anyone as it is to me. However, it had me laughing for days. He just said it so quietly, so seriously, and the girl just looked at him like he was odd. gotta love it.

i like it....after all, when i was teaching, we called ourselves the hoods... it was fun cause i always taught somewhere that sort of was a bit shady...good times
boys are so crazy!
Kala, it is as funny as you thought it was. I can just see the earnest, thoughtful face on the guy as he said it, and her look of "Huh?" :)
Hey Kala,
