I have been into some heavy reflecting this past week. No doubt about it. And so I enjoyed this joke that a colleague sent me recently. I guess you just have to be a teacher to enjoy it ...
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blond woman wave at him and say hello. He's rather taken aback, because he can't place where he knows her from.
So he says, "Do you know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you are the father of one of my kids."
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my bxtt with wet celery?"
She looks into his eyes and calmly says, "No, I'm your son's math teacher."

Pretty funny, even if you aren't a teacher :-)

I think that's funny and just what I needed for a good laugh. While I'm not a teacher, I have worked with children and young people -- always thought of them and referred to them as "my kids," so can appreciate what you're saying.

Now THAT'S funny Tamar. Thanks for the hardy chuckle.

Ha-infinity! Boy, I needed this! (And the image of a good celery-whippin', well!)

OMG!! I would send it to my boyfriend's mother (she's been a teacher all her life), but I'm not sure she would appreciate this type of humor. I sure did, though!!!!
