Reminded by Thomas the Spankengine's post
A couple of years ago, I was going through some old stuff in my toybox, and found loads of my old textbooks and exercise books from prep school.

Looking through my science books, I realised that I'd written "orgasm" instead of "organism" every single time. For four years. I don't know why my teacher didn't correct me, but I have three theories:
(a) He didn't notice. Silly teacher. Not paying attention.
(b) He did notice, but was too embarrassed to say anything about it (it would induce discussions and explanations of what the differences between orgasms and organisms actually were).
(c) He did notice, pissed himself, and decided that he'd found the new staffroom source of amusement for the forseeable future. Git.

EDIT: I'm going back there for a reunion soon. If he's around, I'll ask him.

If someone
was mistakenly giving me orgasms for four years, I wouldn't rock the boat either....

My biology lecturer used to constantly write 'Orgasm' instead of 'Organism'.
I'm not sure whether he did it on purpose, or he was just mildly dyslexic - when someone pointed it out he seemed genuinely surprised.

Seemed a bit odd to have teachers who can't spell at A-level though.

The correct answer is C
I'm a teacher and I'm a b3tan. I would have been showing it around the staffroom/prep room.

When in Year 9
I would feign innocence and ask my Science teacher what an orgasm was while we were learning about plants or somesuch just to see him squirm.

Didn't like him.

reminds me of
a less funny story of my mothers about the pheasants revolt. oh how we never used to giggle when she regaled us with that one, this one on the other hand is funny!

As a kid
I once wrote that Thomas Beckett was the Arch-Bispop of Canterbury and promptly spent the rest of the lesson trying to supress my hysterical giggles.

*Edit* The word pop is funny when you're a kid
