I was talking through "business" with one of my classes. After answering a student's question, a different student raised his hand. He had kind of a defeated tone of voice when I called on him.
Student: Miss O'Brien, do you know what sucks?
Me: Uhh, I don't know...
Then, at the same time we both said:
A vacuum.
We both looked at each other in amazement while the class laughed. He was trying to sound serious while cracking a joke & I predicted his answer. We were both slightly disturbed that we were thinking the same way.
A couple more times during class he tried to pull off the "I'm-going-to-raise-my-hand-and-make-it-look-like-I-have-a-legitimate-question-but-really-I'm-just-going-to-tell-a-joke" move.
He was surprised when I knew the answer to this one:
Jokster: What did the Zero say to the Eight?
Me: Nice belt.
Jokster: Wow.
He ended with telling a joke he'd made up that didn't make sense and wasn't funny...to anyone. Well, at least I didn't know the answer. I guess that means something...
