  1. MNM says:

    Indeed, it was a nice try!

    • MrSpinkleswirth says:

      this is more of an answer win than a fail.

      • manwithtwotesticles says:

        I agree. He got half a point so it must be a win!

        • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

          :roll:

            • JW♂ The Anti-Minion says:

              And the point would be? I had a teacher in high school who had reason to take a full ten points off any test where the student failed to spell their own name correctly!… The teacher was probably just trying to help the student go from a complete failure on the paper to at least a D.

              • Ms B ♥ says:

                I think it’s important to let kids fail. How else are they going to learn how to handle failure as an adult? You’re not always going to win, and you need to know how to handle this. I have a problem with the “Everybody’s a winner!” mentality. Unfortunately we face failure all the time as an adult, and we need to learn how to face it, accept it, move on and strive for better next time.

                • Marius says:

                  Ms B for the Win!
                  *Snickers*
                  *Hides*

                • Ryannon says:

                  I will never forget when my son was in school and one of his teachers didn’t call him on his spelling of something. I questioned her about it and she said “as long as he can sound it out, the spelling is not necessary”. I was SO pissed I went to the principals office and read them the riot act. Unfortunately for her, they didn’t realize that was her teaching method and she stopped allowing the “sounding out” theory.

                  • JW♂ The Anti-Minion says:

                    My sister in middle school (jr. high) was diagnosed with a learning disability, specifically regarding reading. Her english teacher refused to let her read ahead and work on their weekly book reports so she could have time to actually read the book.

                    The teacher also would collect 20something multipage book reports (summaries of all the chapters read in the previous week) and “grade” and pass them back in the same class period while the class was reading/doing some other activity.

                    My mother thought this was decidedly fishy, and in retaliation, my mother began “helping” my sister with her book reports. To the point that Mom put a recipe for chocolate cake on the third page of one of the book reports that my sister turned in, and when she got the report back, she had a 100% credit on the report. Mom took that to the principal… for the rest of the year, there had to be another fully certified teacher in the classroom with that teacher if there were any students present. She retired at the end of the year.

                  • Nebton says:

                    Being on the other side of that, I used to be a public high school physics teacher. I had high expectations of my students, and most of them rose to meet those expectations. Naturally, not all of them did. I remember being told by our vice principal in charge of curriculum that “these are A and B students and they should be making As and Bs”, to which I responded, “yes, they should.” (IIRC, only one of my students actually failed that class. I later heard from his older sister, who I had gone to high school with, how it ended up being just what he needed.)

                    • JW♂ The Anti-Minion says:

                      *stands and applauds*

                      married to a school teacher who
                      constantly has to justify giving the grades
                      she gives to her students
                      • Nebton says:

                        Don’t applaud too hard. I only lasted two years before I found a job paying twice as much with one tenth the stress. The administration was probably about 1/3 the reason I quit. The rest of it can be chalked up to me being more into teaching than disciplining. (I *would* discipline, but I didn’t enjoy it, and I probably wasn’t that great at it.)

                        To clarify, my disciplining problems arose in my 9th grade “physical science” class (general/remedial, with some kids in my class as a condition of their probation), rather than in my 11th/12th grade physics class (advanced/college track).

                        Also, I mentioned the low pay, but I would have been more likely to stay if they had cut my class size in half than if they had doubled my pay.

                        • JW♂ The Anti-Minion says:

                          I still think it’s applause worthy. One for challenging your students, and two for standing up to the administration on backing up why you were grading as you were.

                          Trust me, I completely understand the discipline issues. I went through four and a half years of college training to be a teacher and was pulled out of my student teaching placement because my college prof didn’t like the fact that I reminded her of her recently ex-husband.

                          Nor do I fault you for taking a higher paid job with less stress. It really gets on me when people complain about teacher salaries and how they’re just glorified babysitters. I’m sorry, but I’d prefer to be taught by somebody competent, and know that the doctor who is going to be treating me has been taught by somebody who was competent. Teachers make every other profession possible, and they’re the most underappreciated and underpaid profession out there.

                    • sauerkraut says:

                      Excellent! I always tell the kidlets that they are not C students; teachers who’ve told them all they need to do is get a C get to see the sarcastic side of me. Why some teachers believe mediocrity is acceptable is not something I can, or am willing to, understand.

                      • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

                        In my family, a C indicates the need for help. It’s only in certain circumstances we accept one.

                        • sauerkraut says:

                          In my family, if you get a C, I get the cell.

                        • Ryannon says:

                          My son started slipping in class and I had him put in harder classes. I knew he was bored and once he was challenged, he was back to making excellent grades. I was the same way regarding boredom so I knew what he needed.

                        • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

                          My nephew got bored, and the school wanted to label him as having a “learning lag”. Yet he past the state tests with 90% and up. He had a few good teachers that at least gave him constructive things to do when he was finished his work. But most were hopeless.

                • ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni says:

                  *standing ovation*

              • Avis says:

                *Had a teacher that would give you a failing grade if you failed to spell HIS name correctly on the test*
                His name was Mr. Vogelsmeier. I think. It’s been over a decade, I can’t remember how to spell it now!

                • JW♂ The Anti-Minion says:

                  That would definitely be pretty bad if his name was written on the chalk board.

                  Had a friend get out of a speeding ticket because the cop failed to spell my friend’s last name correctly while holding his driver’s license. Argument was “If the cop failed to spell my name correctly while holding my ID, how do we know he read the radar gun correctly?

                  • Avis says:

                    The name was only on the board for the very first day of class. Of course, it was on all the worksheets we took home.
                    *also just realized the class was TWO decades ago*
                    *feels old now*

                    • JW♂ The Anti-Minion says:

                      One even better than that… one of my college professors refused to spell my name correctly… It had been in the top corner of every page I’d ever turned in to the class… typed… I even started putting my name in bold-faced type, and she still added extra letters to my name… I mean seriously… How can you screw up “Westman.”

                      • People like that should be shot. Westman… damn that’s really hard to get wrong >:O
                        *roars*

                      • BobTheEmoGirl ~VladDracula-doublepenetration~VanHelsing-betterequipment~WolfMan-goesallnightlong~ says:

                        Hey I have somewhat the same problem. EVERY SINGLE ONE of my teachers pronounces my name wrong. I would understand if it was just the first few days of school but it is continuous. My last name is “Frey” but pronounced “Fry” I understand people saying it wrong the first few times, but I’ll correct them THREE or FOUR times in an hour and a half class and they’ll STILL get it wrong. What the hell is wrong with teachers saying/spelling names wrong? Also I hate when teachers call me by my last name or do so but with a ms. at the front. I have a first name for a reason dumbasses. Oh dear I’m ranting now aren’t I?

              • ImaGetToHeaven says:

                How do you get 10 points at all if you can’t spell your name correctly?

        • Joe says:

          Answer Win – Teacher Fail

    • Splish Splash says:

      Funny how the person still got half a point lmao

      • Steaming Pile says:

        He should have gotten full credit. His answer implies that he actually knew the answer – yes, one ball is physically sufficient for reproduction, while making a somewhat amusing joke.

        • Lemon Curry? says:

          No, he only deserves the half-point.
          He assumed copulation as a requirement for procreation, which was not stated anywhere in the question.

          Yes, this response was just an excuse to use the word “copulation”.
          I encourage you to find excuses to use the word “copulation” in your daily life.

    • Karenbobaren says:

      Dude, nice try!

    • Hail Stan says:

      All hail Stan!

    • Kool-AID says:

      if you look to the left he got half credit… really nice try

    • chicken says:

      Best part, they got half a point.

  2. bombe^ says:

    oh jaaa :D

  3. teezboy says:

    lul O_O

  4. BlaBla says:

    FIRST

  5. The Moomin says:

    Is it his own testicle he is attempting to reproduce with? A man and a woman would have more success.

  6. Zhong Zhi says:

    What is attractive then? Nice try!

  7. The Moomin says:

    Would it be known as a dutch pirate eyepatch?

  8. Ryannon says:

    I dated a guy named Johnny One-nut. He was a Seminole and I didn’t find it unattractive at all. Of course, I never got pregnant but still, I didn’t find it ugly.

  9. sck says:

    he even got 0.5 ponits for that answer!

  10. Marius says:

    Yes, but he would still need to collate.

  11. granny says:

    He might need a penis as well

  12. jmarkbangerter says:

    I like how he got 0.5 credit on it at least.

  13. Joao Joaquim says:

    c’mon! that’s a clear WIN!

  14. David says:

    Thats not a FAIL, its a WIN. He got 0.5 for answering the question.

  15. Ryannon says:

    Clickie my nickie to see one just as good as the above. Not sure if it was ever on here before.

  16. Me says:

    What to give up . . . friction? or gravity?

  17. Ryannon says:

    Okay my last comment is awaiting moderation because of eyemage is in the link. So google “Find x here it is” and you will see a great answer to a question.

  18. Sergz says:

    He would have gotten the full point had he written doesn’t.

  19. rob says:

    Maybe it was a girl who wrote this answer?

  20. What kind of test would have this question on it?

    • Arthur Eld says:

      That wasn’t really part of the test. The teacher just didn’t know who else to ask about his little problem.

      • sauerkraut says:

        Had a teacher, Mr. Hinkley, like that way back when… the teacher was a vietnam vet and the rumor was that his got shot off. We called him di!ckless hink. He never knew how to deal with us.

  21. svesten says:

    ahaha thats the damn true !

  22. Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

    Testophobia – fear of taking tests.

  23. Gradwin says:

    Answer fail. Grading win.

  24. Alysha says:

    Pure awesome. I used to be an ass and answer questions I didnt know with answers like that

  25. Stephen Ogley says:

    I’m shocked that the marker didn’t deduct 100 points for the flippancy and abusive language :(

  26. Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

    OT:

    I saw this weekend that the Emp had quit FB, as well. Does anyone know where his goodbye is (if any)?

  27. Noisy Peter says:

    Did anybody realize he still got half a point for that?

  28. Avis says:

    Well, I must be going, I have to go get ready for the slice and dice at the doctors. See you guys this afternoon!

  29. Bobevil says:

    Why was this kid not immediately sent to the principal’s office and given a 0 on the test for writing “shit” to a teacher?

  30. peter says:

    he’s a one ball man and he’s off to the roedo.

  31. Indeed says:

    Sure give the guy with only 0.5 of his balls left 0.5 points…

  32. Saw says:

    Had I been the teacher, I would had just put 0 for being so ignorant. And I would had removed another mark for using the word shit. Kids don’t learn manners these days…

  33. Ryannon says:

    Ahhhh this fail suddenly reminded me of the jar on my shelf that I used to have. I miss that jar, I hope Mookie is using it in good health. It was my wedding gift to her.

  34. Gring says:

    Correction fail too!

  35. Mattie says:

    only half a point?

  36. emilie says:

    The fail also goes to the teacher who gave this student’s answer 0.5 points even if it was, indeed, a nice try.

  37. gfdc says:

    Lol, I just saw the original yesterday.

  38. Ms B says:

    a nice try for a fly.

  39. Tataki Inu says:

    …He really got half-credit for it?

  40. kk0425 says:

    That’s a win in my book.

  41. Caity says:

    I’d say this is a major win

  42. My ass says:

    Man, this is shit, and by shit, i meen phail. Or do i meeeeaan FLAIL?!

  43. Dan says:

    half credit win!!!

  44. noffa says:

    I looooooooooooooooove one testicle

  45. Chris says:

    It was a good try. The teacher must admire that kinda of chutzpah to give half credit.

  46. tfad says:

    HOW THE HELL DID HE GET HALF CREDIT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  47. Janelle says:

    I love how they still gave him half credit. amazing.

  48. pl3h_teh_awesomeness says:

    thats a win in my book

  49. Thunderscore says:

    Anyone else notice that was really a 0.5 win?

  50. Bob says:

    This is actually an epic win. If you look to the side he got half credit or at least 0.5 points.

  51. flutterby6 says:

    note she earned half a point

  52. flutterby6 says:

    fail me that i didnt notice everyone else spoke of the famed half credit

  53. yak says:

    is there a top 10 list on this site. would love to post these funny lists on my site. my readers would love to read this stuff….funny as hell

  54. jbug says:

    Wow, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve been in school (thank god for that.) Would a teacher today REALLY give half a point and a “nice try” to an answer like that?

  55. Gabe says:

    This is a WIN in my book. I mean, how can you put that and still manage to get some points?

  56. datf says:

    lol he still got 0.5 marks for that?

  57. asd says:

    did he get half a point for that answer? awesome!

  58. justin says:

  59. molly says:

    This entire thread is lame and unfunny.

  60. namine says:

    loool too bad :(

  61. linz says:

    I really enjoy that they still got 0.5 :)

  62. chinesekid says:

    notice he got half a point from that

  63. Superrox says:

    Well… I woulda given that an A+ you gotta hand it to that kid. Not to mention, why in earth is that important to know?

  64. Cam says:

    1′d for being win, dude got half marks on a question he didn’t know

  65. F4xCaro says:

    Wait.. O_o

    Did the person get .5 for that answer??

  66. Vikotnik says:

    What kind of stupid question is that anyway? Biology class test?

  67.   says:

    Does he mean that girls don’t find testicles attractive and therefore find sex unattractive?

  68. the wykydtron says:

    he gave him a 0.5 lol

  69. me says:

    at least he got a half point

  70. Dongotti says:

    LOL, Epic!

  71. Hinkel says:

    that is a flippin win, the dude got half a point!

  72. Fawfulster says:

    “No, girls don’t find that shit atractive.” How can a girl know if her guy has only 1 ball?

  73. dano says:

    haha, it’s rad that they got a half mark for that answer

  74. thomas d says:

    he got a half point as credit so the teacher thought it wasn’t a complete loss

  75. naz says:

    darn! nice try

  76. Don't look at my nick! >:O says:

    The question is not if he CAN but if he want to xD

  77. Tree says:

    Uh, I haven’t read all of these, but do people realise that the teacher was probably just being sarcastic!?…and half a point for having a sense of humour? She was applauding the lolz

  78. Cookimonstress says:

    Actually, I would say this was a win.

  79. Z Twin says:

    I would actually say more like “win” and less like “FAIL”.

  80. Im Always Right says:

    Go In Solo Like Leroy Jenkins :D

  81. XxAngeliclilkittyxX says:

    wow i actually think this is a win, but still a good find! xD

  82. bslip says:

    stop putting random fails on shit that are actually pretty awesome

  83. Andrew Ong says:

    TOTAL CARNAGE! Silly question indeed!

  84. Shanaynay says:

    if quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

  85. Glenny says:

    …he still got half a point. I’d call it a win.

  86. JLGCJ says:

    lol he still got .5 points XD

  87. Laughingcat says:

    Its more of a question fail…

  88. Manderz says:

    I find Tre Cool attractive and he only..yeah. Mr. Unicycle….

  89. mad-max says:

    Did he get half a point for that answer? That’s awesome! WIN!

  90. nistol11 says:

    how is this a fail, this is an epic win! xD the person even got 0.5 points for it! xD

  91. Killer_man says:

    LOL THAT’S AN EPIC WIN I THINK BECAUSE THE TEACHER WROTE…

    ”Nice Try”…. it’s like… ehhmm…. EVERY WOMAN DOESN’T LIKE PEOPLE WITH ONE TESTICLE….

    BTW THE QUOTES ARE MOAR LIEK A CHAT…

  92. gman4354 says:

    This is an Epic Win for sure! ;)

  93. nicole says:

    So true.

  94. pooperscooper says:

    the teacher gave him half credit!! hahahaha

  95. C says:

    half point is win! xD

  96. Paladin says:

    I think the kid should have been smacked. Some of men are born with both testicles but lose one due to cancer or other tradgey. He deffinatly needs to be sat down with a counselor and straightened out.

  97. friTARD says:

    How is this a fail? The person got half a point!

  98. Meggie Cleary says:

    I think his answer did have a little merit to it. Scientifically speaking, females are looking for a mate who’s physically and biologically fit. In the strictest sense. So two-testicled men have a decided advantage.

  99. K says:

    i’d argue that it’s not *really* a fail since the kid got a .5 on the question instead of a 0…

  100. Faalagorn says:

    she got half a point!

  101. QQQQ says:

    Lol that sould be a win

  102. Watchotalkinabout says:

    True They Dont find that Shit attractive!

  103. Bobgoblin2000 says:

    Speaking from the one nut perspective, I have not had any complaints in the bed room with only one testical.

  104. Awesome says:

    Epic win

  105. Yosh says:

    I Wanna be the very best

  106. IAtesTheCookie says:

    Did she still got 0.5 for her answer? o.o

  107. LOL says:

    THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST FAIL I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
