Potable, Pote, Cheese.

IB Biology is one of my favorite classes. Not only because Bates teaches it but because of the funny things that are said in his class. Today we were talking about the advantages of a compound light microscope. He went on to tell us about the usual stuff and then told us it was "potable" that made a lot of us giggle and then ask "You mean portable don't you?" Of course he did but he told us portable/potable same thing. When he let us know something was expensive he went on to say it was a lot of cheese and g's. Later on he was thumbing through papers trying to find a picture of a transmission electron microscope and couldn't find it. We all told him someone must have "poted" it out of his room and taken it for their own uses. The class went on and on with funny sayings and phrases. We then started talking about snakes and our teacher keeps a snake in the room. A few people decide to go and take the snake out and play with it. I was contetnt with touching it and what not until he turned his head towards me and starting hissing and sticking it's tongue out. That was enough for me I went back to my seat content and witnessed others putting the snake on their heads and letting him slither around their necks. It was slightly disturbing. I applaud them for their bravery but can't stand the thought of something cold with scales slowly creeping on my neck and arms. I hope to be able to do that one day but I doubt that will happen anytime soon since I pratically bolted back to my seat at the sight of his tongue coming out in my direction.
