"One Shot. One Kill. Genuine Rapid Complete Dominance." - This was on a hat worn by an old man in the subway...the hat also had a skull and crossbones. I couldn't tell if it was a real military hat or one you buy in the subway...at any rate...i'm very impressed with all the adjectives they used to describe dominance. Authentic, fast, thorough dominance is always a must.
"Always make leave with happy" - This was a little sign behind the register at a dumpling place by my apartment. It seems like a reminder better suited for a massage parlor, but i'll take it.
"If you're happy and you know it crap your hands" - Listening to Korean co-teachers butcher childhood songs was difficult at first, but now I just sit back and enjoy. We're still working on correcting the "i'm a little teapot short and sprout" mistake...teaching adults is harder than teaching children. No joke.
"Vintage Ank 12345678910" This is in big block letters on a shirt that I bought at a bus station. More than anything it'll help with my lesson planning. Grammar mistakes for the intensive kids and numbers for cat class.
"Hey Lena where are we going for the field trip this month? All the itineraries are in Korean."
"Mmm we go to poultry factory."
"Come again?"
"Yeah we take kids to poultry factory."
"I'm sorry. We are taking the kids where??? A poultry factory? You can't be serious."
"Yeah. Poultry factory...you know? Where you make cray?"
"Ahhhh. A pottery factory. Where you make things out of clay. Got it. Cool. Thanks Lena."
"Original Bigot" - Cause what is a bigot if not original? This was on a shirt of a college student in the subway. I was curious if he spoke English, so I tried asking him a question and he ran away. I'm gonna assume that he doesn't know what the shirt means
"No matter how smart you are. You spend most of your day being an idiot." - This little tid bit is on a notebook that I bought from a stationary store. Nothing like a little insult to inspire the mind.
"The today that you wasted is the tomorrow a dying person wished to live." This is also on a notebook that I bought. I was laughing about it one day and my co-teacher looked and said "yeah very famous quote in Korea" So i'm assuming this is their version of "seize the day"...?
