A Fly In The Ointment


Ha ha ha ha!
Guess what? This is the first time I committed a crime!

Yesterday after school, I went to see the movie-- "Lust Caution".
With five people barring the pavement, it seemed we were going to have a gun fight. The first one to hit upon such an idea of going to the movies was the dyed-in-the-wool 18-year-old Little Pan, and it turned out to be a six-people outing.

As the school bell rang, we all rose from our seats and went out the classroom in a haste. Everyone passed by were making jokes of us, calling us "Lust Caution Group" (which means, "色戒團"). In the meantime, we found two members having forgotten to bring their clothes-- one was Little Pan, and the other was me (how embarrassing...). As I am a fake 18, I could only borrow a jacket from one of them, so that my uniform wouldn't be that shiny. But it seemed that we were too cautious about how to fool the ticket seller. After all, she just asked us a simple question: "Are you 18?" and we answered yes quickly, which seemed more unconvincing. And the six tickets all came into our hands with ease.

After the show, we came out from the theater with satisfaction, sharing different feelings about the movie. However, I won't tell you any single word of it. Just wait to see until you are 18 XD!

Oh, something funny has come to my mind. I remember that day in the English class, Stephanie introduced a new phrase-- a fly in the ointment, which means "an evil member of the herd" (害群之馬), more correctly, "a shit of the mouse ruins the whole porridge". And Big Orange came up a question:

"Why do they say it 'a fly in the ointment'?"

The teacher thought for a while and said:
"'Cause if a fly has been stuck into the ointment, it couldn't be used for your skin anymore."

"Then WHY NOT just pick it out from the ointment?? It still can be used!" She yelled.

At the same time, I thought to myself,
So, would you just pick that shit out of the porridge and continue to eat that thing?

~S~
