I don't take diving or college classes for the humor either, but you've
got to admit that they'd be pretty boring without a little levity from
time to time...A good joke (or even an attempt at one) at the right time
to break some tension is a fabulous teaching technique (especially if
the joke happens to be topical...)
And look on the bright side, reading the list is FREE, unlike most
diving or college classes I've taken!
