Mr. Burns

(I am in GCSE Science. Since we do double award, we have three teachers who teach in a cycle. This is our chemistry class and we’re the top set in the year. The teacher has us all gather around his bench at the front, then he turns on a gas tap and lights the stream of gas that come out. After it has burnt for several seconds he turns the tap off.)

Teacher: “Now you know what that looks like, so none of you ever needs to do it.”

(He quickly became the favourite of the three science teachers we had.)
