yeah or the "please go easy i have a hangover " for some reason this does not sit well esp if you have to do a turning kick (not me though would never do anything like that )

maybe another could be "whens the smoke break?"

How come you're wearing a white belt?

Sense's belt is so worn that it's almost completely white. The kids ask him this all the time.

Too many pages to read through them all, but these are some of the funnier ones I've had said to me

--"That wouldn't work" (coming from someone with two weeks of MA experience total when showing her self-defense escapes)

--"What if they _______?" (proceed by showing a modification of the self defense move), "Well what if they _______?" (Show another improv self defense to counter), "Well what if they ________?" (We now have a rule in our dojo called "No What-ifs" because one kyu rank was so bad with those. The rule is unless you instructing the class you can never begin a sentence with "What if")

--"Have you ever killed anyone" (yeah, that's why I'm still here in class teaching rather than in prison)

--"I'm bored" (well I have quick fix for that )

--"I didn't learn anything today" (then you weren't paying attention because I correct plenty of your moves)

--"Look what I can do" followed by some spastic gymnastic move jumpt and/or tumble (and what does that have to do with karate)

--"Can we play games instead of working on kata again?" (in a word--NO)

--"Do you think you could beat up _______" ( )

Actually had this next one said to me just last night:

--moaning "But I don't want to do kata again. I already know how to do it." (well since I'm one of the judges testing you next month and I think you need to work on it, it would probably be wise if you did)
