Tape recorded lesson
We had a student teacher for a number of weeks of A-level physics. He had a hilarious set of teeth that earned him the nickname Agrajag*, but once we'd got over that, he was actually pretty reasonable as student teachers go.
[*Minor character in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, described as "a giant mutant bat with long curving teeth that lacerate his own face every time he moves his jaw."]

A couple of weeks into his time with us, he turned up with a tape recorder to record the lesson. He set it up on the front desk with the obviously silly instruction that we were to "ignore it and act as if it wasn't there".

There was the predictable round of fart noises and so on, but again, we settled down and got on with some physics.

...until a quiet period later in the lesson, when Karl's voice called out from behind me, "Sir, why are you standing on the table with your trousers round your ankles like that?"

Oh how we larfed.


Length? I didn't see, I was doubled up.
