An Excusable Mistake, Of Course

Hi everyone! No one has posted in a while, so, with nothing else to do I thought I'd post something here. This is actually a story that happened a few months ago. (While we actually went to school!) Anyway, yeah.

I was in math class, listening to the teacher explain some concept or other of math. A student, Dan, got up from his seat and went to the front of the room where the teacher keeps a tissue box, graph paper, a stapler, etc. He reached into the tissue box and found it empty.

"Sorry," said the teacher, "we're all out."

He walked back to his seat. The person who sat behind him, Max, reached into his binder and pulled out a piece of graph paper, and gave it to Dan.

Dan looked at him strangely, then blew his nose on the paper.

"Oh," said Max. "You wanted a tissue? I thought you wanted graph paper!"
