Memorable (and useless) school lessons you can't forget
 

To those of you who actually went to school (or still struggling to pass 5th grade) ... list some of those odd/quirky little lessons that have stuck with you over the years.

i.e.

Roy G. Biv (colors of the spectrum - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet)

Never Eat Sour Watermelons (NESW - north, east, south west - compass headings in a clockwise rotation)

"A before O - or up you go" (when welding in shop class and you get a torch flashback, turn off acetylene first before oxygen or risk ruining your day).

" A group of cars traveling on the highway at the same speed in a Group is called a Wolf Pack ".

Got that on in drivers Ed. for the 10% discount on my insurance. Drive 1 time for 3 min in that class and thats the ONLY thing I remember from it. Fucking retarded.

I only remembered that Mark Twain was gay.

Although I hated having to memorize it - I still recall the Shakespeare they crammed down our throats.

I can almost recite Shylock's revenge speech verbattum - 30 years later. :Oh crap

hehe, electronic resistors color coding.................

bad boys roll on young girls, but virgins go willingly :D

I still remember my 25 yr old semi-hot female teacher telling us this..

never eat shredded wheat..........but then you had to remember clockwise or counter........

so I now just remember as the word 'we' across from left to right.

Don't cum inside your high school sweet heart

Hehe...but when was the last time you actually used a compass? :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Oh fuck you, it's all flooding back!

I remember Novell and Lantastic. As far as the actual lessons in class? I remember "Don't piss off the gym/history teacher."

:1orglaugh so true

un, deux, trois - bonjour, bonjour, ca va ?
ca va bien! ca va bien! merci.

onze, douze, treize - oui, j'adore les fraises!
ca va bien, ca va bien, merci!

Life is but a walking shadow...

do you recite it before you ticket a nice car?

Memorable AND useless? hmm..

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge.

I had no trouble remembering EGBDF. Didnt need the disturbing words, but there you go.

Ya' know...even if you were marginally self-aware you'd realize you're about as clever and amusing as a bag of hammers.
