Our regular teacher was out on maternity leave, so we had a substitute teacher come teach the class in her absence. The antithesis of anything girly, she was down-to-earth, straightforward, and right off the bat, you could tell she was definitely a no-nonsense kinda gal.
One day during class, a bee/moth came flying by, as insects are naturally wont to do in places with open windows. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but being typical ICANs, everyone within a one foot radius of the bee/moth instantly jumps out of their seats and starts screaming like a banshee. Waves and waves of high pitched "Ahhhhhhhh!!"s and "Yuuuuuckk... bee/moth!!"s fill the room, as if no one had ever encountered a bee/moth in their life before.
Yet, completely unfazed (but admittedly slightly confused), with a straight face, our teacher looks in their general direction and goes, "It's just a bug, man."
And with that, Shatan and I split our sides laughing. To this day, 5 years later, we still quote her. In fact, it has become such a classic line that we've translated it to Spanish as well -- you know, in case we ever end up in Spain and need to use the handy phrase. Esta hucho un bicho, hombre.

Hahaha! That was Sab! Pumasok yung bee sa top niya that's why she was so hysterical!
I still remember the teacher's facial expression. Sobra siyang weirded out! Ang funny pa ng tone ng voice niya when she said that! Classic. Haha.
