Humour in Mundane Tasks

This group of young people or teenagers surely know how to inject humour into their mundane school assignments.

I saw a file on my desktop title "ps-shit.doc". It is actually my younger son's public speaking ( ps)  speech. This year the topic that he got was pretty boring to him. So after finishing his written speech he named it "ps-shit" to make life less boring. When I chided him for the naming convention, he changed it to "useless-ps.doc"!!!

Today, my older boy was relating how one of the group in his class who was doing a 'moral project' presentation caused the class to burst into laughter and liven up the class. The presentor was using the laptop to do his presentation. As his file is in an email, he clicked the email titled " moral shit". Luckily the teacher was quite sporting and just commented " Benci sangat ke project ini?".

Youngsters nowadays just so love the word 'shit'.

  1. Hopefully the teacher does not let the email title influence the markings if marks need to be given to the presentation.

    1. Don't think so. These groups of teachers have quite good rapport with the students.

  2. It's a cool, don't-care word loh... haha. Yeah, but having said that, I'd rather go for proper/non-offensive wording too. 'Useless' is better than 'Shit'. :)
