The Proof is in the Powerpoint

~ ~
As a teacher, I have my suspicions of who likes to smoke a joint or two and who doesn't. It's not terribly hard to pick out those Cheech and Chong-ites. They usually exhibit all the cliche traits you associate with stoners: tye-dye, Bob Marley shirts & hats, hobbit-ish hair, a certain proneness to staring throughout the day, interest in hemp, and the desire to do a project on legalizing it. Hell, sometimes you can just plan smell it on them and whoosh, off to the office.

I would imagine they would try to hide it, but I suppose that's against their gentle, relaxed disposition. That's why I was both surprised and not surprised while watching the following student presentation. This person is a notorious stoner, but manages to get by thanks to his elf-like innocence and average grades. The proof, I maintain, can be found in the background images to each of the slides.

Slide #1: Hella trippy.
Slide #2: Skating is not a crime. Neither should pot be. It's totally harmless. Legalize them.
Slide #3: Like static on the TV. Dude, did you ever see Poltergeist? It's like that movie! Dude!
Slide #4: Lightning. Tight.
Slide #5: Just thinking about the brain is so trippy, don't you think? That pic is rad, too.
Slide #6: I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night...
Slide #7: Wood, like the skate board ramp my friend's step dad built but I said I built for my project.
Slide #8: A seed. I don't know, it just looked cool.
Slide #9: Pure white. Think about it, dude.

POSTSCRIPT
As if I didn't need any more proof, as I was typing this up, the student attempted to staple two papers together but got stuck. Eventually he figured it out and then asked to use the library. Had he gone, my money says he wouldn't have actually made it there...
