Il behaviour
Awoke this morning to find that North Korea had been firing off missiles in the direction of my adopted homeland.
The students were a bit on edge about this, but, the "long-range" Taepodong-2 missile having landed in the Japan Sea shortly after launch, I pointed out that we'd probably be in more danger if the North Koreans just came to their Eastern shoreline and started throwing stones at us.
"What a puny missile!" I hooted. "What did they build it out of- detergent bottles?"
My students laughed nervously and glanced over their shoulders.
