Sometimes I like school

I borrowed Bianca's USB drive today because mine is missing to save a powerpoint for history class. Knowing Bianca's fondness for crude pictures, I did a brief scan of the mostly photograph-containing drive and found nothing offensive at the top, presumably the only area visible as I select my powerpoint in front of the class on the projector. The only picture I found was a picture of our "friend", professional douchebag Ryan, in a gay-porn style cowboy hat and a rather homoerotic grin, appropriately titled "homo". Fearing this may offend or embarrass someone, I move the picture to the bottom of the icon tiles, and move my powerpoint to the top.


Once in class, I go up and front and begin to open up the powerpoint when I first realize that my powerpoint is not at the top anymore. What is instead at the top of the icon tiles is a full-folder icon preview of a real-life ass. As I hastily scrolled down to avoid the ass, hoping that no one noticed, I encounter the 'homo' picture of Ryan. One student comments "I like that picture of the guy named homo"
I begin somewhat nervous banter, and scroll up again only to encounter the ass yet again. This time my teacher, obviously a former New England liberal arts college hippie, notices.
"Do you want me to no-show it?" I begged.
"See the problem is, it won't turn back on."

While I hastily try to resolve the situation by blurting something about how I borrowed my friend's USB drive and had no idea of what else of awfulness she may have put on it, my teacher saves the day.

"Oh dear... well maybe just don't tell her that we saw that, and we'll all close our eyes so you can open the powerpoint."
While my professor and most of the class oblige me, I brush my shoulders off, open the powerpoint, and commence presenting.


Later, I text Bianca about the mishap.
"Dude, you know that was my ass right? From when ______ bit me"
"Well, I guess 19 people just saw your ass then."

She thought it was hilarious.
