Seaweed: Face removes the horniness

"Natural plant essence,Keep the skin for one whole day of clear comfort."

No joke, that is the entirety of English text written on a small jar of clear face jelly a student was using in class. I had joined Liz for her good class tonight and happened to take a second glance at the label only because "Seaweed" was in big letters on the top. Happening upon the word "horniness" also in the label was one of the biggest little joys of our time here. We both died laughing while all the students insisted on knowing what on earth was so funny. We weren't about to begin trying to explain the meaning of that word to them so we stuck with "it's bad" and something about how things can be really funny when translated wrong.

My theory is that a former teacher at a school like ours got fed up and started teaching the students...well, shall we say, uncouth words that you wouldn't ever find in a dictionary. Come to think of it, that sounds pretty fun..... mwahaha.....
