For the majority of you, who don't know what a Blue Wednesday is, it's when the second Wednesday of the month, Wishy-Washy Wednesday, is not the week after Thank You Thursday beacause Thank You Thursday fell on the first of the month. Yesterday was a Blue Wednesday, and even though these stories didn't occur on a Blue Wednesday, things like this happen once in a Blue Wednesday (which is to say, much more common than once in a Blue Moon).
Before class started, someone said something about how much money some movie made from ticket sales, and my physics teacher asked, "How much did it cost to make the movie?" A girl responded, "Nothing. Energy is free." A momentary pause and she added, "They powered it with people running on treadmills." Of course, being a physics teacher, my physics teacher asked, "And where did the people get their energy?" The girl replied, "They went into the sugar mines and licked up the sugar." Everybody was staring at her. "And they had magic unicorns!" she added. "Who granted wishes!"
"My computer isn't working," complained my fun-loving health teacher.
"Maybe if you were nice to it, it would be nice to you," suggested a student.
She picked up the laptop, cuddled it and kissed it, and said, "I hugged and kissed my computer. That ought to make it work." Just for good measure, she hugged it again, and then put it down and opened it up. "It's working!" she exclaimed. "Except..." I wasn't really paying attention for a second, then someone asked her a question and she responded "Quiet, I'm concentrating. We're becoming one." She was trying to mentally communicate with the laptop, and when finished, said, "I just said some really nice things to my laptop. I hope it works now." She tried it, and it worked.
"You're a genius," she said to the kid who suggested the solution. "You should be one of those Geek Squad computer fixing people."
