Things That Happen in the Back of the Classroom

Honors English is a chaotic mess. For Honor students we are quite noisy. Let me tell you about some of our fun moments in class:
1. Poetry
For our poetry unit I wrote a lovely poem about Nicky and her confidence in her knowledge (I'll create a post for my poems after this, the oane I'm referring to is Synonyms of Deep) and after sharing the routine poems (I shared the Peanut Butter one) I went ahead and asked if I could recite a poem to someone in the classroom and Mr. Funny went ahead and allowed me to. So I got up and looked directly at Nicky and went ahead and told her exactly what I thought of her. I know she liked it. xD
2. Podium
It is a plan that my Honors English friends shall make a podium for Mr. Funny that allows him to throw it against the wall, break it, and be able to put it back together. The reason why is because he shared a story with us about a guy from his college who always would ask questions to prove his intelligence, i.e. "Is that like this saying from Aristotle...", and his teachers would usually deal with it. That is, until he came across a professor who, when bothered for approval to ask an annoying question, threw a podium against a wall and broke it. We now want it to be whenever Hannah Banana asks a question we want him to throw his homemade podium against the wall.
3. Nude
Mr. Funny likes to talk about his dad, who was an artist for a living. One day he told us a funny story about how his dad wanted his mother to pose nude so he could create a painting of her. So every day for about a week, his mother would sit nude in a wicker chair, posing. He refused to show her the painting until it was entirely finished. At this point in the story, our class was pretty disgusted, but it got even worse as he told us he still had said painting somewhere in his house. Our class freaked out and it took awhile before we calmed down. He then informed us the painting was from the neck up.
4. Fabio
Mr. Funny has now been renamed Fabio as of today. In class, Pakistan told Mr. Funny that he looked like Fabio with one button undone. Mr. Funny then ran to his desk and returned with a blonde wig, adjusting it and saying it was the best he could do. I think I peed my pants laughing.
5. The Day The Earth Stood Still
Since we finished our finals, we were watching The Day The Earth Stood Still. Fabio left for just a little while and when he was gone, the movie stopped randomly, the disc being scratched. Pakistan then claimed he would fix it, ran to his desk, flicked on the lights and began to do stuff to Fabio's computer. The rest of the class talked for a bit, relaxing. Pakistan had accidentally clicked something and modern music started playing. He was trying to stop it when Fabio walked in. Let's look at it from his point-of-view, the movie is paused and his kids and are sitting around with the lights on, chatting. One of his students is at his desk, playing music. His face was priceless and the entire class was too busy laughing to try to explain it to him that we weren't slacking off. After a couple exasperated explanations from various students, he calmed down, but otherwise, it was pretty funny.
