Gon, Octo Gon. 003: License to Kill with Laughter

Scene: A third grade geometry class, immediately after the "Introduction to Polygons" lecture.

Angeline: Teacher, I need help.

Lacey: Okay.

Close up of Angeline's worksheet. Two questions - What is the name of a polygon with six sides? With eight sides?

Lacey: What shape has six sides?

Angeline: I forgot.

Lacey: Remember the trick? What letter does the word six have that helps us remember?

Angeline: X . . . hexagon!

Lacey: Good job! Now, how many arms does an octopus have?

Angeline: Eight.

Lacey: So what would you call a shape with eight sides?

Angeline: *blank look*

Lacey: If an animal with eight arms is an octopus, then a shape with eight sides would be an octo . . .

Phil: (gleefully) PUSSY!!!

Close up of Lacey, emphasizing her inability to speak for several minutes. End scene.
