"Mr. Contreras, I am actually learning something in a math class, this is pretty cool!"

"My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world."
It pays to be altruistic. Literally.
I was driving home tonight and saw the Rottweilers who attacked my dog a few months ago wandering around the street. I wrestled with the idea of letting them run off and hopefully get run over for a while before I decided to let the owners know they had gotten out.
He was grateful that I told him and payed our dog's vet bill on the spot. He had originally refused to pay, and my mom was in the middle of taking him to court over it. I just saved everyone a lot of money and hassle.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I draw things on the board for my students. A couple of weeks ago I had a hamster up in one corner. All the kids really liked it but a few kept drawing injuries on him and erasing his ear/leg/etc. So every day I would draw him getting more and more beaten up. This week he's been laying in a hospital bed hooked up to a heart moniter.
Sadly, he died this morning
A few of my students were actually really upset and got mad at me for "killing" him (some other kid drew the skull and crossbones).
