J+95 Zhangzhi's "rebellion" against strict Chinese teacher...

My best friend and classmate, Zhangzhi has a different sense of humour from most Chinese people. Her English is almost fluent, this allows her to appreciate the flexibility and quality of foreign humour.. Thank God I have her, because most of my classmates laugh about childish Japanese cartoons all the time.. Not quite my cup of tea!

So..... We both often have our private jokes! She sits three rows in front of me in the classroom, and just turns round, makes a facial expression only I can understand, and that's it.. We both laugh..!

Last week, dear Zhangzhi had a rather bright idea.

~ they received old English homework, from two weeks ago~

Zhangzhi turns round..looks at me, giggled, and said "he he he... we don't need this anymore.. do we justine?" smirking...I replied "indeed, we don't." She said "oooooohhhh that is mighty brilliant. Hold on a sec' girl!"

The next thing I see.. She is smiling in triumph, very proud of herself.. a little laugh filled with pleased guilt..holding up the paper.. With a HUGE tag on it, written with a thick black marker:

*"CREEP MOTHERFUCKER"*

Doesn't end here. No no, this is the beginning. It gets interesting!

Our head teacher, takes her microphone, steps on the stage, not longer than 40 seconds after this, and says : "I will collect the papers at once. Are you clear?? I want them back, now."

Zhangzhi's face went absolutely CRIMSON (this is rare for a Chinese).. Her face just froze, she was petrified! Before she could do anything, her work of art was taken away... You can guess what happened next..

"Zhangzhi, to my office!."

Apparently, it seemed our head teacher did not appreciate the little message my friend had left her!

... I saw Zhangzhi's little face turning at me, desperate.. Hopeless..

Next thing I see, when I come back from my lunch, she was cleaning the classrooms.. This is a sort of punishment. Anyhow, she was lucky. This could have gone quite far.

I laughed a lot that day, simply couldn't help myself. This, in china, writing this to a teacher, is probably as bad as walking in a Mosque wearing nothing but a bikini.. Inappropriate and potentially dangerous!
