Can’t you just see it?

Teacher: Mmphpmhhmhpp. (Gestures wildly toward chalk board on which she’s written “Has everyone read their assigned chapters?”)

Teacher: (sits down, stares at hands, decides to pull magazine out of desk and read)

Class: (realizing nothing is going to be taught, students walk out and go home)

Yep. Them’s your tax dollars at work.
