Mr Smith
Mr Smith was a brilliant man, still is, in fact. He has a stupidly high IQ and was an all round decent bloke, one year going so far as to learning Arabic to GCSE level just because a student in his German class wanted to take it and the Head of Languages had said no.

However, Mr Smith, who is still teaching, wasn't all there when it came to understanding the minds of teenage boys. This is a shame because he teaches at an all boys school. He is loved by many for his intriguing style of German delivery but it is his slip-ups that make him a good anecdotal reference for this QOTW.

His first wonderful slip-up was when he voted himself off a charity school-run version of the Weakest Link. He didn't understand the rules and had never watched it before.

Another moment of brilliance was when he was insulted by a year 8 in his classroom. Nobody else had heard what he had said but all were wondering. No worries, Mr Smith soon answered their queries by booming at the lad in a loud voice, "Never! In all my life as a teacher, have I been so insulted to have been called a bald twat by a thirteen year old boy!" Oh how they laughed.

Finally, Mr Smith rides a bike to school everyday and was taking questions in jovial spirit from his class that day. The conversation veered to his mode of transport like so:

"It's a nice bike you've got, Sir."

"Yes, it is nice isn't it, shame about the white paint mark on it though."

"Sure it isn't some other white liquid that caused that, Sir?"

Laughter ensues, Mr Smith doesn't quite understand the teenage male mind:

"...Tippex?"
