"Porno!"

I just can't stop smiling to myself when I think back at what happened in class today. It's not everyday that you get to stand in front of the whole International Relations class and shout "Porno" [Dutch for 'porn'] : P

For the last few weeks we've been having student presentations, and each time just before class starts someone has to set up the equipment for PowerPoint. I've more or less become that someone!

Just as I hooked the laptop up and beamer started to project the image onto the white screen, a friend whispered something mischievously to me: "Put the ... on"

I really didn't hear what he said, and shouted across the room. "What? What did you say?"

Again, he cupped his mouth and whispered with a devious smile "Put on the porn..."

As innocent as I am, I thoughtlessly answered back, again in a loud, clear voice so as not to have any confusion: "Eh? PORNO?"

How embarassing, as I realised afterwards what I just did. The bunch of guys at the back of the room started chuckling, and some other people turned to look at me, wondering what was going on. Our lecturer was (thankfully) busily engaged in conversation with this one person.

I swear...I really am all that innocent.
