So, we're in Latin, and Professor Van Sickle has just about forgiven Michael for Monday, and we're translating Vergil. Who is evil and makes little sense, even when correctly translated.

We had come to the line "O tantum libeat mecum tibi sordida rura..." and Michael (all of us) were stumbling over the word "libeat". So, to help him out, Professor Van Sickle asked "Well, what's your libido?"

*deep thought*

Michael: Um... I don't know!

When we realized what he had said, we all fell apart laughing and making bad jokes.

VS: You don't know what your libido is, and you're only what, 20? 19?
Me: *frantically looking for a bad joke* Told you you were working too hard (not recently I haven't, but....)!
And the best line, from Tina: He's been practicing the Middle Voice*


*Necessary Greek reference. The middle voice**. It's what you do to yourself.

**The other voices are passive and active, what one does to you and what you do to other people
