She tried to get out by window, but she couldn’t figure out how to open it. So today, I would like to talk to you about how you can protect yourself and loved ones from fires in Korea. Don’t rely on the building superintendent to do this for y...

In my writing class the students were supposed to brainstorm about disturbing trends in Korea and I said that Black Bean Tea was a disturbing trend.

The last one was a mistake. My class exploded with laughter and I was left red faced. Dan
