英语课
The following is a list of exciting extracurricular activities offered to you, the student, by your Philadelphia Board of Education. Each student shall select one exciting activity. Vocabulary club.
Too exciting.
Mr. Matthews, please.
It wasn't me, it was Shawn.
Same thing. All right, a debate team, scuba 1 club, upholstery squad 2.
Scuba club?
Underwater adventure?
I'm in!
Me too!
Well, I, for ** plan to stimulate 3 my intellect, and will therefore choose between the vocabulary club and the debate team.
I would enjoy communion with the creatures of the sea. I choose scuba.
Slap me and wet too and throw me overboard.
Can anyone tell me what the acronym 4 scuba is? Mr. Matthews.
Duba?
Scuba, duba. Mr. Matthews, I have obviously failed you on so many levels. An acronym is a pronounceable formation made by a combination of letters.
I told you.
So now, can anyone tell me what scuba stands for? Come on! Someone take a stab at that. Mr. Hunter, you haven't spoken since the fourth grade, S-C-U-B-A. What does it stand for?
Something's...creepy...under...boat...Andy.
Mr. Matthews was closer with the duba. Very well, take it away, Mr. Minkus.
No.
I beg your pardon?
I don't wanna know everything. I wanna fit in. I, I wanna be one of the normal stupid guys. I'm going with duba!
All right. Mr. Minkus obviously does not know.
Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus 5.
Thank you.
I hate myself.
You are not alone.
