2. “God I hate uni. Just the fact that i don’t have enough clothes to wear really makes me hate uni.. also those assignments I didn’t do, and those tests i failed.. yeah, I REALLY DON’T LIKE UNI!” — Jer, uni friend.
3. Mathews [business law tutor]: WHY weren’t you here last week?
Will [student]: I was on the freeway and i ran out of petrol so i pulled to the side-
Mathews: Do I really care about your petrol problems???

Mathews: Does anyone have a question?
Will: *hand up*
Mathews: And no, i don’t know where the nearest petrol station is on the freeway.

Mathews: If you fail business law this semester, make sure you’re not in my tutorial next semester, because i WILL give you hell for the whole entire semester. When you fail, it’s a reflection on ME. So don’t fail.

WE’RE WAITING. *continues* So we’ve got supply & demand for the Thai Baht .. *stops drawing graph & looks up* Didn’t i warn you guys about red shirts? This is not a joke, this is true. I have a thing about red shirts. I like red shirts but red’s a colour I always spot - so if anyone’s talking it’s always the boy in the red shirt, or the girl. I usually warn the students right from start of semester, don’t wear red — do yourselves a favour, or you get picked on” — Economics lecturer.
5. “For all you people out there, here’s another sexy latin word to heat things up!” — lecturer
6. Me: What would you do if you met the guy of your dreams.. except the only catch is that he smells like urine?
Bindi: I would be like “why do you smell like urine?!”
Me: No, but everyone else thinks he smells normal, only you can smell the urine because you nose is ten times more sensitive, like a dog’s
Bindi: I would spray him with perfume.
Me: But I mean, would you kiss him & have his babies?
Bindi: Yeah and then I’d spray his babies with urine .. i mean perfume ! >.<

ROFLMAO! I know .. i have the strangest sense of humour.. and i have no idea in the world how on earth i come up with these idiotic questions.
