How did it come to this?

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to say, "Put away your burrito," "That ruler is not a lightsaber," and, "Stop making dog noises" all in the same sentence at work. I teach Advanced Placement Calculus to high school seniors. FML

All in the same sentence? Obviously you're not an English teacher, because that'd be one he'll of a run-on sentence!

Wow!! You got an intelligent lot. You should see my school (well then again all our jokes had historical backing, it's was AP European history, but hey! How many calculous jokes can one Really make?)

Yeah, there's a limit to that.... Okay, so there's a guy in the Home for Deranged Mathematicians. He keeps running up to people and shouting "I integrate you!" and "I differentiate you!" And the people he does it to act all scared and nervous. So he does it to this one guy, who has no reaction at all. And he does it again, and again, and utterly fails to get a reaction. Finally, he says, in exasperation, "Who do you think you are?" His victim says, "I'm e to the x."

I was in that class! Yep, sounds about right

Sounds about right for my senior-year AP Calculus class back in high school...and OP is probably younger than I am. Look, the harder you work, the sillier you have to be when you blow off steam.
