In a morning discussion yesterday, I was talking about my Film Studies Professor and his obsessive behavior and his angst against Closed-Captions. I’m not going to bore the rest of the world of this humdrum “Closed-Captions” fiasco – which wasted one-hour of our student lives – however, it did spark a funny conversation in the office.
Later in the afternoon, my co-workers (Toni and Sara) were listening to me talk about my classes – yet, again, and it had nothing to do with the Film Studies Professor, until…
“Is your Film Studies Professor hot?” Sara asked.
“WHAT? Did you just ask what I think you did…?” A baffled and confused Toni asked.
I laughed, “Yes, she asked if my Film Studies Professor is hot. She has a one-tracked mind.”
“I don’t know. He sounds hot from what I’ve heard so far!” Sara said, which I found to be funny. A Film Studies Professor who has a hatred for “Closed Captioning” and his compulsion to expel such a travesty from the school’s expensive meager projector, meanwhile wasting an hour doing this (long story), is considered…hot.
“WHAT?” Toni exclaimed.
“I…guess…” I said as I tried to recollect what he looked like. “I mean, from a distance he looked like he could be cute, but up close I didn’t find him as attractive…”
“Oh, so he’s a transformer.” Sara said disappointingly.
“A what?” Toni laughed. She says “what” a lot, apparently.
“A transformer.” I laughed.
“A transformer is someone who looks hot from a distance…” Sara said.
“But not as attractive up-close.” I added.
Toni shook her head and laughed.
“I don’t know. He’s not bad looking. He’s not my type, but I’m sure…many women find him attractive. Like, you might find him attractive.” I finally said. I hope she doesn’t try to get me to sneak a picture of him during one of my classes.
