Icebreaker: Who Was Your Favorite Teacher and Why?

Posted by on

Having finished “The 25 most popular icebreaker questions based on four years of data” and enjoyed the results, I’m moving on to a new list:

76 Fun Icebreaker Questions (Not all of which will be used, since some are either/or questions, which are boring.)

Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.

If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.

Who was your favorite teacher and why?

The Dread Pirate Roberts.

Until I met him, I had no idea that Thibault cancels out Capa Ferro.

I really need to study my Agrippa.

IMAO Headquarters, 9:15 AM


Hi, who’s calling in.


Hi. It’s Basil calling in for the outage service call.


Hi, it’s Frank calling in, too. So, why is the Website down?


Um…


I pay you clowns to keep the Website running while I’m focused on Towerfall … um, focused on other work.


Yeah, I’ve emailed Harvey about it already since he’s the only one that actually does anything.


Then what am I paying you for?


Um. I keep the snack machine stocked.


From the looks of you, only half the snacks actually make it into the machine.


Excuse me, Mr. Fleming? I’ve contacted the hosting company. They said something about bots and Amazon and the Russians.


Told you I didn’t break it.


So, how long were we down?


Around 14-15 hours. Everything that was scheduled to post now has. The database is clean. But I’m still getting phone calls from readers. And this one guy who wants you to extend your car’s warranty.


Tell the readers we’re back up. Everything’s back to normal. And send calls from that warranty guy to Basil’s extension.


Oh! Thank you! It’s lonely in the supply closet.


Now everybody get to work! I need to find my Xbox controller.


Thanks, boss.
