What is the most memorable class you've ever taken?

English, in high school.
The teacher, Wim, taught us English, amongst other methods, by playing popular songs, on his guitar, handing out the lyrics, and analyzing and discussing them with us.
Billy Joel’s Goodnight Saigon comes to mind.
Not only did he teach us language, but also history, and currents affairs.
Yeah, he was pretty good.

World History.

I took a karate lesson once, turns out my hands are so soft I couldn’t chop a buttered scone.

^Get yourself a big bowl of uncooked rice. Smashing your hands into it, will toughen them up, without impact, that would hurt them…

@MrGrimm888 I can punch my way out of a paper bag, but the sides of my hands are made of felt. Gawd knows how they break bricks & stuff, mind over matter I guess.

^Wrong. Self discipline. It takes hard work, and pain tolerance. You could do it. Mind over matter, is a good explanation. The mind controls the body. You’re only limited to what your mind can do. You can smash a brick, if you believe that you can.

Creative writing. My teacher adored me and my writing abilities. I once wrote a short story that she gave an F to, then crossed it out and changed it to an A++. She thought I had plagiarized it.
Also, my family was being split apart and nobody really gave a shit any more, so I wasn’t getting up in time for first hour, which was Miss. H’s class. She started calling me in the morning to get me up.

@MrGrimm888 Yeah but you see, I don’t need pain in my life & besides, what would I chop?
I have staff knives for that!

^I was merely trying to tell you that you are only constrained, by your mind, not your body…

I toughed my open handed punch. I hit a wall with my fingers locked stiff I kept at it and gradually added force. When I could hit with my fingertips as hard as my fist, I grew my nails out and filed them to sharp points.
If i wanted to, I could hit somebody in the neck and touch spine.

^Ooo ra.

I punched a ravioli & it burst.
Does that make me a “contender”?

^It’s a start…

@ucme, Baby, never change.

Cheers guys lol
I boxed at school for a time, I’d have been 14/15.
I was very quick & could feint either way so no one barely laid a glove on me.
Decent jab too, just I hated actually hitting people, not my thing man.

I’ve taken several wine tasting classes at the college level, the classes were offered as part of Hotel and Hospitality Management. Drank several wines that at the time I couldn’t afford to buy Like in 1983, a bottle that cost $250, split it up among the 25 students.

@Tropical_Willie -Sounds like a good time!

The professor owned and operated a family winery, he was the third generation. He also wrote several books on wines and home wine making. It was a blast!

Sounds so interesting @Tropical_Willie. Did it give you a new appreciation of wine?

Yes, my wine rack has room for 120 bottles of wine. Don’t have that many now but in the past I did and the overflow just stayed in the boxes I bought the wine in. We don’t drink that much wine anymore.

Constitutional Law
Torts
Civil Procedure

These were great and difficult subjects but I had fantastic professors.
