The Muffin Joke

There are two muffins sitting in an oven. One muffin turns to the other and says, "Man - its really hot in here." The second muffin goes, "AHHH - a talking muffin!"

I've told that joke for years now to all of my classes and without fail it is greeted with groans and rolled eyes - until yesterday, that is. 

In my Algebra II class this year there is a very earnest and hardworking student named Jun. Jun is also extremely high strung. Yesterday, to begin class, I started to tell my muffin joke. I happened to be standing right next to Jun when I was telling the joke. As I got to the part with "AHHH" in it - Jun turns, screams at the top of his lungs, and almost falls out of his chair. The look on his face is that of complete and utter terror. He was so scared that it scared me for a second - and then the entire class burst into laughter. As soon as Jun realized what he had done - he started laughing as well. His reaction startled me so much it took a few seconds for my heart to stop racing. I tried to continue teaching - but it took about 5 minutes for the classroom to return to normal. Needless to say - that may have been the funniest joke I've every told - and it had nothing to do with me.
