You ever been in a class where you have this teacher who seems like she doesn't know what the fuck she is doing herself? Well I have to learn how to tourné a potato, and I had no clue what the first step in doing this was. I called the chef over to show me, and all I got was:

Chef: "Well.. uh.. you just.. *filps potato* and... uh.. cut it down the middle.. then.. uh... ... *filps potato* ... ... cut it this way... *stares at text book page on tourné-ing I have open* ... then square it off and make it look like that... *walks away*"
Me: "....what?"
Person next to me: "...she told you cut it the wrong way...Kyle can do it...he does it the other way"
Me: " ... i know... You can't get it 2 inches this way.."
Person: " ..we're fucked. And we have to do this in under an hour?"
Me: "oh dear god.."

Looked it up online, watched videos, still can't do it. >.>
Went through 4 potatoes already, still can't do it.
Questioning all that I know, and If this is really the line of work I want.

Someone tell me what is the fucking point of making a potato football-shaped and seven sided -.-
