The ex...
Tried to explain probability to him one day, because he'd never really quite understood it.
Me: "So.... We have a bag, and in it there are 9 red balls, and one blue ball. What is the probability that you pick a blue ball?"
Him: 1/2. Because you will either get a red ball or a blue ball.

These people teach your children!
Its revision season for me now - prime time for procrastination - so what better time to make my first post.
I'm working on a particularly nasty PDE at the minute, and it makes me nostalgic for times of old, good old highschool mathematics and the ever hilarious blithering idiots that teach it.
My favorite was Miss C (and God knows why this one was still single), an all round lovely lady, but obviously missing a few things up top.
She was desperate to be one of the "cool" teachers and this really was her downfall, many a time.
The other teachers in the department had found that maths bingo went down well with the kids, so she wanted in. She found herself a bingo card online and photocopied it thirty times. Poor lass was utterly stunned when every kid in the class yelled bingo at the same time.
God, I loved her

Headlice eat shampoo. So I'm actually really clean.
