You know how in high school any time a kid makes a joke the teachers get angry and yell about them interrupting and being voted class wiseass or whatever?
Well, in college it's completely different - they totally appreciate it if you break up their day with funny shit. In one of my lectures the teacher closes the door before he starts and if you're late, you aren't allowed to open the door and come in.
Today he started to close the door and we heard some kid screaming, "NOOOOOOO!" from outside and while the professor had his hand on the door about to close it, this boy took like a flying leap and DOVE through the doorway on his stomach, sliding across where hallway meets classroom.
Right as he looked up one other kid stood up and yelled, "Safe!" The girl sitting next to me leaned over and said, "This is exactly why I moved here from Pennsylvania - nothing like this ever happens there." The part that I really liked wasn't that - it was a half hour later when the "umpire" started running across the bottom row of seats trying to get the entire lecture hall to do the wave. The professor kind of giggled and kept going. It's nice that humor gets appreciated in college.

NIce one. Haha. It takes gut to pull that one off though.
And by the way, gosh, we laugh like mad in college. True enough, in secondary school, humour is not much appreciated. Probably due to the so-called difference in, um, how to say, like, "I'm an adult and you're a kid" kind of thing, I suppose?
That's amazing. I can NOT wait for August, when I get to slid across lecture hall floors on my tummy...
