NY tutors are the smartest of the lot with EXCEEDINGLY HIGH EQ. (Though I was tickled pink with his blunder =P)

We had this toopid International Friendship Day concert in the Hall during our constructive CT period. Obviously, no ass gave a damn to it since only half the hall was filled up when we were already running 10mins behind schedule. Somehow, the AVA was also screwed since only half the hall was lighted up ie. the other half looked like Hades. And the capable teacher in charge of overlooking matters could do nothing but to stand on the stage looking crossly at the remaining J1s strolling in.
And this bright Indian J1 decided to use this time to make some crap CCA announcement. "So please remember to come down today at 3pm blah blah blah..." After which he handed the mic back to that imbecile teacher and made his way down the stage.
Teacher (booming into the mic; actually referring to his pitch dark surroundings and upset that AVA was so damn slow): HOW COME SO BLACK AH???!!!
The Indian J1 halted briefly, looking shocked.
The whole hall gasped. (The students, not the structure)
Such an intelligent retard for a tutor=) Main point is:
1) Doesn't it sound right and more normal to use 'dark' instead of 'black'?
2) The tutor himself is a Malay...you know, the fairness of his skin is...?
3) It was INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY

[Indian Cultural Dance]
I heard from Soo that there was this ICS Dance sometime back and noble Quek Quek was there to grace that significant event. So after his inspiring speech, he retreated down the stage to watch the performance. And apparently, there were many families/friends of the ICS people all crowded in front and were blocking his view.
Quek Quek (I think he shouted? Or grabbed the mic?): Can all of you please move aside? I can't see a thing!
Yes, my dear. You know, maybe you should just move aside yourself. And honestly, I doubt you can see a thing even if they moved away.

I don't know how many of you have heard this before, but in a certain Jacky Wu variety show, he asked:
"为什么印度人和马来人不能吃巧克力?"
And the answer is: 因为他们会不小心咬到手。
