I have this student who sometimes drives me crazy with his obsessive need to sound polite and British. Yeah, it's a strange mix. I like to play with it a little bit from time to time... Anyways, this conversation totally happened this week.
Student: Might I please visit the porcelain dispenser?
Me: That depends.
Student: On what, may I ask?
Me: What will it be dispensing?
Student: Um... er... bodily waste, I suppose you could call it.
Me: So wait. The toilet will be peeing on you?
Student: *flustered* No, um, WHAT?
(For the record, I did let him go in the end. After I made him ask to be excused to go to the bathroom.)
