My Studen't Test Results

This is a test I gave my stuents. The answers for the second and third answers visible in the picture are my favorite. 

"What doest WASP stand for?" "World American Super Protestant." I marked that wrong. 

"What is a televangelist?" I can't make out the answer, its either "A tool" or "A fool." So I marked it wrong, and then had second thoughts and decided I would accept either of those answers.

An Anecdote About a Funeral

It is the fashion here to have some local players come and sing an opera to entertain funeral guests after someone in your family dies. Recently, some people have decided that the opera is boring, and it costs 10,000-20,000 RMB per night, so they just get dancers to entertain the guests. To make it more entertaining they get the dancers to wear very revealing clothing. My mother in law told me they wear belly shirts and short skirts. Then my wife tells me a couple days ago before people complained about indecency the dancing girls were just wearing pasties on their nipples and thongs. And then mother in law chimes in that they were pulling down the thongs at intervals to make it more entertaining. Then she goes on to tell about how the neighbor's son who is a little slow and really fat got up and started dancing on the stage too. Everyone was entertained because his ass was so big and shaking about so pleasingly. This young fatty couldn't hear his mother yelling at him to get down because the music was deafening, so the mother had to get a long bamboo pole at hit him until he got down.
