Sadly this is not a joke, but you will laugh.

Before I start let me say that the person having this conversation with the teacher is a JUNIOR IN HIGHSCHOOL:

Mr. Miani(Teacher by the way): "Do you even know how to multiply? How could you miss that? This is third grade math!"

Anonymous student: "Of course I know how to multiply, I'm in Advanced Math (precalc). I just forgot the formulas."

Mr. Miani(getting really aggravated): "Tell me then *student* what is 7 times 9?"

Student: "63, duh!"

Mr. Miani: "Well then, what's 9 times 7?"

Student: "36, this isn't funny anymore."

I'm not kidding about this, the class literally fell into a stupor after this was said. It was so funny I almost forgot about my looming AP Calc exam. AHHHHHHHH!!!!! x_x (<--This is because there isn't a good "dead" smiley)

Funny indeed! But was the student trying to be funny?

I agree! But as MathsIsFun said ... are you sure this was just an error that the pupil had made, or that he was attempting to humour the teacher?

If you knew the kid you wouldn't even ask that. She was being 100% serious when she said that.
