And thank God we'll never be as dumb as they are!

My dad just showed me a channel on youtube he likes to watch and I told him he should subscribe to their channel. He told me he wouldn't because it costs money and that I should cancel my subscriptions because it's a waste of money if I can watch all the videos on youtube for free.

My humanities teacher spent most of the class trying to turn on the over head projector. Once she finally got it to work, she started pressing the 'start' button with her palm on the wall as if the whole wall just turned touch screen. She couldn't understand why it wasn't working.
