Guy #1: Hey, brother, can I ask you something? What is text messaging?
Guy #2: You don't know what that is?
Guy #1: No... I was at this club the other night, and this fly young ho gave me digits and asked me to text her.
Guy #2: Damn, brother, you're gonna have to get your nephew to teach you texting. It's almost like e-mail, but on your cell phone. It has reply -- now or later, and forward, if you wanna send it on to a brother.
Guy #1: I guess. I never heard of it before.
Guy #2: Yeah, nigga, if you wanna kick it with these young bitches you gotta learn to text.
Guy #1: How times have changed.
Guy #2: I know it, brother... Next thing you know, they're gonna be textin' you in bed. Text you their moans and shit. It is going to be the downfall of making love.

Student: So, basically I've come to beg for my life.
Professor: Go on.
Student: So, I need this class to graduate, right? But I know I'm failing. The problem is I'm taking too many credit hours and stopped coming to class, but this guy that I know who was taking notes for me and whatever -- he stopped coming to class because he says he can't stand to listen to you drone on and on. But don't worry, it's not like I don't like psychology or anything -- I love deviant psychology. So can I get extra credit or something?
Professor: Oh, Lord, no.
