Teacher: In badminton, you serve from the left if the total score is even and from the left if it's odd. Let me demonstrate.
Teacher: Right now, the score is zero. Is zero even or odd?
Class: ...
/me starts laughing
Class: OHH, it's neither.
/me facepalms

Can't you tell? Obviously, right now is neither the left for even nor the left for odd.
