Don´t Speak! I might laugh!

I was at a party last Saturday night where I met a Latin teacher. A. I didn´t know public schools could afford foreign languages anymore. B. I didn´t know public schools would have anything more than spanish or maybe japanese to offer. C. Who meets Latin teachers? Definately a first for me. To set up how strange it was to meet a Latin teacher at a party was to hear about his extra curricular activities. Namely, being a brass player in a No Doubt tribute band. Not kidding. When my friend caught wind of this character she asked what his ´musical influences´ were and I almost laughed in their faces. The strange nature of this conversation didn´t end with his response of Tribe Called Quest (he couldn´t think of the name of the group, just a name of one of their songs). A little later he talked about the old days when he used to work at a toy store and described a Barbie shoe fountain. Yup. Even thinking of the whole situation now, I am speechless.
