Today, my music students began a lively debate about whether or not a music stand would make a good weapon for the zombie apocalypse. What am I teaching them? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my band played for our school. We were cheered for and everything. Being the lead singer, I tried to look cool and push the mic away and pull it back by pushing down the bottom of the stand with my foot. It hit my face and I bled like crazy, but I kept singing. No one clapped at the end. FML
Today, I was teaching a woodshop class. We were using power tools, including drills, and pieces of pine wood. While helping a kid to hold a piece to practice drilling, he went too far forward with the drill. It went through my hand. FML
Today, my social studies teacher thought it would be a great idea to have a casual debate about Margaret Thatcher and her legacy. Within 10 minutes, the entire class was yelling, screaming, throwing stuff at each other. I got hit in the face with a binder. FML
Today, at work, I jumped under my desk in fear of a nuclear missile attack when the firestation next us let out its new awareness siren. I think I'm going insane. FML
Today, while going on a jog through the countryside, I discovered that it is actually possible outside of crappy TV shows to have a rifle leveled at you, and to be shouted at to, "Get off my land." FML
Today, I was practicing my lines for theater class in the hall. My partner and I chose a script where we argue over me stealing her boyfriend. Since it started to sound like a real argument, another student said that I was a "crazy bitch" and punched me in the face. FML
Today, I ran into a former college classmate at Subway. He gushed on and on about how I was the only one in our class with true potential. Then I asked him what kind of sandwich he wanted, because 3 years out of college, Subway is still the only place that will hire a music major. FML
Today, I opened up an English textbook to find someone else's dirty fingernails between the pages. FML
Today, I was listening to some Michael Jackson through my earphones when I saw this really cute girl. Trying to impress, I approached her while doing some dance moves, not thinking about how unbelievably stupid it must have looked without the music. FML
Today, I found out the record label I was talking to was actually just my friends who have way too much time on their hands. FML

From how it sounds, you're teaching them how to survive.

<p>I'm sure that is a little disappointing... but it sounds like they're at least using their brains and being creative. I've had many debates with people on the effectiveness of objects as weapons or how to zombie-proof a building... usually at work. It makes for an interesting discussion.</p> <p>In their favor, a music stand could be a good choice. The folding ones have several pieces that could be made in to weapons, and they're lightweight. The heavier single piece stands would be better fo

<p>If I were a teacher (which I'd be awful at) I'd wind up caught up in the argument and no music practice would ever get done.</p> <p>Also, a music stand probably could be used as either a blunt weapon if the base is used to hit, or if you sharpened the edge of the book holder, maybe an axe.</p>
