No poo in class thank you

What is it with men and their fascination with bodily functions and secretions? I hate to generalise but i'm talking about men in their early twenties acting like teenagers. I taught a class of young ESL students today and a group of four young men spent a good hour or more chatting away about their bodily functions!

Ah but they were speaking in English and therefore studying you say? Nope. Each time I set a pair/group discussion task, off they would go again talking about their poo in their own language.

Aaarrgghhh. How gross! They are adults! They have spent a whole heap of money to be here studying English! They are surrounded by students of other nationalities. Perfect opportunity to make new friends, learn a new lanaguage and expand your possibilities.

They choose poo. Good choice boys.

I guess that poo is one of those things that unifies people (read: men) from around the world. Maybe we can get George Bush and Kim Jong-Il together over this important issue.

Lmao, if only they were speaking in English, maybe they would all realise their common interest and make friends internationally. This could be the dawn of a new and peaceful world order!

Ahh women. You're never going to be able to grasp the subtle sophistication that goes into these sorts of discussions, are you? :oP
