Grammar

"Grammar"

Jimmy was having problems in English class, so his
teacher decided to stop by on her way home to
speak with his parents.

When she rang the bell, Jimmy answered.

"I'd like to talk to your mother or father," said the teacher.

"Sorry, but they ain't here," he told her.

"Jimmy!" she said, "what is it with your grammar?"

"Beats me," Jimmy replied, "but dad sure was mad
that they had t'go bail her out again!"

"When They Built Rome"

Mrs. Taylor, aka "The Whip", asked her 5th grade
history class, "When was Rome built?" and called
on Timothy to answer first.

"Rome was built at night." was his answer.

"At night?" asked Mrs. Taylor, holding her ruler firmly
in her boney-knuckled hands. "How ever did you get such an idea?"

"Well," gulped the student, hoping his answer would
satisfy her, "everyone knows Rome wasn't built in a day."
