A lesson

Teacher: Well kids, today we are going to talk about American films. Can anyone tell me an American film you have watched recently? Johnny: Last week, I saw "Airplane" with some friends. Teacher: Ohh, that's interesting. What can you tell us about it? Johnny: Well, first of all we laugh our asses off. Teacher: Johnny, don't use that language here. Johnny: Sorry, Mr. Walker, but that is exactly what we did. See, the movie was so funny,with funny characters, dialogues, and acting; which made the movie a full of endless memorable scenes. At the end we laughed so hard that one of my friends peed himself. Teacher: All right. Is there anyone who have also watched a similar movie like "Airplane"?. (nobody replied. the teacher was becoming anxious. all of the sudden, a girl, with tears in her eyes, raised her hands). Teacher: OK, Sara. Sara: Last night I saw a movie called "Soul plane". Teacher: Soul plane?. OK, could you please tell us about it?. Sara: Well, first of all, it's a piece of crap. Teacher: Sara, behave yourself. Continue. Sara: The setting was similar as in "Airplane". However, the plot was utterly garbage. The actors were cheap,there was an abundance of negative afroamerican stereotypes, the comedy was as funny as my grandpa's terminal cancer and in addition, the pilot of the plane was Snoop Dogg and the co-pilot was Method Man. Teacher: Oh dear. Now I see why are you crying. You had a bad experience. It's all over now. Sara: But, that's is one of the reason why I'm crying. Teacher: OK. Which are the other reasons? Sara: I'm crying because after seeing the movie, I went back to my brother's room and I shoot him to death for having recommended the film. Then I went to my parents' room and I stabbed both to death, just for having given the soul plane DVD for my birthday. And now I have to kill all of you for making me speak about it.
