Yesterday: "Das Rollercoaster war wunderbar, weil es sehr quick."
Today: "Will I get marked down for that?"
- M.E.
[Translation (well, vaguely): "The rollercoaster was wonderful, because it was very quick."]
Story behind quote:
In the German exam, one guy wrote, 'sehr quick' because he forgot what the German word for 'quick' was. Ok, if you're doing a language exam and you don't know how to say something, just scrap the sentence and say something that you do know.
When everyone first heard about this, we all burst out into uncontrollable fits of laughter. Meanwhile, the guy asked if he would get marked down for it. That didn't help with the laughing.
The best part was that he was genuinely not finding it very funny. In fact, he was vaguely angry about the whole thing and decided to ask, "Ok, I know it was a stupid thing to write, but what is so funny about all this?!" Everyone else carried on laughing, it pretty much made everyone's week ;p
