Accounting class was entertaining today for a few moments.
-which is exponentially better than usual.

Mr. Mayer is irony in a human carcass. He looks like a 35 year old bowlegged 1930's gangster with a vicious smile, but he's a teacher ... of like English or Socials I can't remember. Anyway the other irony is that he's best friends with my accounting teacher who is like a classic 55 year old nerdy professor with glasses and a constant sweat buildup around his mouth. Yeah that last part is pretty gross, but anyway...

So Mayer pops his head into our class in the middle of a lecture on bad debts expense and what to do if somebody dies and can't pay their invoice. Here's how the conversation went roughly:

Mayer: Hey Mr. Petryshyn!
Geno: Hi Mr. Mayer!
Mayer: So that fence is actually fairly straight! I know it looked kinda curvy on Google Earth but hey I checked it out and it's not so bad.
Geno: Oh no kidding? Our luck must be picking up!
Mayer: Yep that line is pretty powerful, just gotta make a few calls here and get the ball rollin'.
Geno: [chopped off "yep"] ye-, ye-, well sounds good!
Mayer: Ye- well have a good rest of your class!
Geno: Okay talk to you later! ... so when the the end of the fiscal period is here and say for example it comes up half way through payroll week...

Us: what the- ..?

Maybe teachers have a secret coded way of telling each other who's failing in their classes and whose parents not to mess with...
