Math

It was weird being in that classroom that day. Everybody was so tense, so focused in making their final attempt at a passing grade, that I really felt out of place. For I believed I was the only one who was struggling to keep myself  from laughing. The reason being was because my teacher had assigned us during our last meeting to write an essay about what we learned and experienced in his class. Now, I might not be a good writer, but hell whenever a teacher gives us an essay, I always had a knack in making them laugh.

So I sat there, my mind divided between solving a simple linear inequality equation and imagining my teacher's expression once he read my essay. Feeling consious of the time limit, I knew I had to get my head in order if I planned on not taking this class again next semester. I picked up my pen and started to write my answer when suddenly my teacher let out a laugh that startled half the class. He looked up from his desk and stared at me while he read the following from my essay:

"Algebra can be associated into our lives today. The number of pretty girls in class for example, can be calculated by first simplifying beauty into two categories of inequalites and counting the number of girls that fits that system of linear equations (no solution)."

He looked at me and I grinned. Then he asked me," Why is there no solution?"

I said," If you made two lines to define beauty and ugly, any portion above the beauty line would mean that the girl is beautiful. Any portion underneath the ugly line means that the girl is ugly. Anything in between means that the girl is pretty."

He looked puzzled and asked me what I meant when I said there is no solution then.

Knowing I had the attention of almost the entire class by then, I looked at him straight in the eye and said,"Because sir, in my eyes, all girls are beautiful.'

With this, he let out another laugh and asked if I really meant that.

I told him that yes I really meant that, thats why I wore my glasses.

He again looked puzzled and said,"So you can see their beauty better?"

"No sir, it's to correct my vision."
