On Fan Death...
I was regularly looked at with horror and old women muttered under their breath about death wishes when I was blase about sleeping with the fan on when I lived in Korea.

I got in terrible trouble one time when I decided to test it out when I was in the elementary school classroom I taught in. I closed the doors and windows of the classroom, turned out the light, and turned on the fan in the class. The kids were puzzled to say the least.

I then sat at my desk and pretended to go to sleep.

The screams of the kids could be heard across the school and the headmaster ran across from his office and barged down the door. I had to claim ignorance of the fan death and pretended I was doing an experiment on photosynthesis.

I just managed to wiggle out of it.
