It's amazing how many innuendos a determined child can find in algebra

Me: Okay, so for a compound inequality with "and", the solution needs to satisfy both parts of the inequality.
Student: Heh heh, satisfy both parts.
Me: So let's look at this inequality. "x" is stuck between -2 and 5.
Student: Heh heh, stuck between.
Me: The pointy part of the inequality is facing towards -2, so what does that mean?
Student: Heh heh, pointy part.
Me: Remember how in first grade you learned that the inequality is an alligator that eats the bigger number?
Student: Heh heh, eats the other one.
Me: DO I NEED TO SEND YOU BACK TO HEALTH CLASS? YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME REPRESSED COMMENTARY.
