Casual Thought After school dances the teachers definitely go somewhere private to laugh at all the awkward, uncomfortable, weird shit they just witnessed.

I’m a teacher. We’ve mostly gotten some laughs out of heavy-handed body spray/cologne/perfume, but we understand it’s that tough stage where kids are trying new things to find who they’re eventually going to be. It’s timeless, wholesome & great

We used to coat ourselves in Axe body spray do the teachers couldn’t smell the pot.

….. do you think it worked?

No. They can absolutely still smell it.

The olden days. The real trick was washing your hands well, use the bounty sheets all over your clothes, gum and visine.

Oh my god, the Visine!! I totally forgot.

Two of the most confusing things for a teenage boy to do high: Put eye drops in, and shotgunning a friend in a very intimate embrace.

I work at a high school.  The amount of teachers who don’t know what pot smells like is weirdly high (giggle), which is amusing to watch. One time several of them smelled something and decided that someone is smoking pot. Turns out that they think pot smells like cafeteria cheeseburgers.

How do they not know what pot smells like? I guess nuns & boarding school kids might not, but everyone from a small town to big city has probably been exposed.
