I have a number of teachers in my family, but I heard a few years ago that the college major with the lowest incoming SAT average was.... drum roll..... Education. ( I was proud to be in the major with the highest SAT average.)
If I was Alex's parent, I'd be in the principal's office with this letter demanding Mr. Milliker be fired. Oh, wait, you probably can't fire him as he's tenured.
I have a good friend who is a retired master teacher. She told me once that if you kept your mouth shut and didn't do anything like abuse students, you were left pretty much alone to do as much or little as you wanted.

So what to do with all those Easter eggs you and the kids made? How about hanging them on the tree in your front yard. Can you imagine the smell after a week in the sun?!?

Wow! But they are beautiful! When I was a kid, we'd decorate one or two eggs at Easter to keep. If you take a raw egg and pierce each end with a hole about the size of a #2 pencil lead, pierce the membrane and blow the raw egg out. Takes a lot of lung power, but you end up with an empty egg shell that'll keep for a while without stinking.

Actually, April 12 is the birthday of 2 great Americans. David Letterman, and my oldest daughter (different years of course).
Sofadoc, I was at both of my children's deliveries and I found nothing funny about either one. Seeing a newborn baby with yuckie stuff all over it tends to not be a time of jocularity. I was not laughing up a storm all those times that I helped birth baby cows either.

It always surprises me that you should not "drive while distracted," yet every police car I see has a computer hanging off the dash, a police and/or other emergency two-way radio, a speed radar, probably a GPS, and the driver is on the phone.

I have a relative who flys Fed Ex International. He is like Captain Sculley who landed that plane in the Hudson river. He said most pilots used to be like Captain Sculley - Professionals who loved to fly and were the best of the best or at least made as effort to be the best.
Today, most commercial pilots fly to make money. They may love flying, but their primary purpose is to make money. And most have second jobs or own other businesses that compete for their time and attention.
Do you remember last year when that commercial plane went 300 miles past the airport because both the pilot and co pilot were asleep?

A man comes to work on Monday morning and he has two black eyes. His co-worker says "What happened to you?"
Actually they are in Canada, so what his co-worker really said, while sipping his double-double. was "Eh Hoser. So what happened to you, eh?"
The man with the two black eyes said that he was in church on Sunday. It was a hot, humid summer morning. The preacher went on and on and on. Finally, the sermon was over and the preacher asked everyone to stand for the closing hymn. (In gay churches, do they sing 'hims'? This was not a gay church. Do they have gay churches in Canada?)
He said a rather large woman was sitting in the pew in front of him. (These pews, by the way, were recently reupholstered by no1948 and he did an excellent job!)
When the woman stood up, her 'Sunday go to meeting' dress had caught in the crack of her rather large bottom. This man, with only the kindest of thoughts, reached forward and pulled said dress out of said crack.
The woman turned around and hit him right in the eye!
The co-worker, having finished his double-double and just popped the top of his first of many Molsens, said, "Eh, so then how did you get the other black eye,eh?"
He said, "Well, I got to thinking about it, and I thought that maybe that's the way the lady wanted her dress to be."

This could be about any politician but its always fun to poke fun at the president.
An elderly lady was walking on the golf course on the island of Martha's
Vineyard. She slipped and fell.
Obama who was behind her by chance, helped her to get up promptly. She
thanked him and he answered
"It was a pleasure to help you. Don't you recognize me? I am your president. Are you going to vote for me
in the next election? "
The elderly woman laughed and replied:
''You know ... I fell on my ass ... not on my head!"
I made a pillow cover, technically a pillow sham. 28" x 28". The customer wanted the zipper across the middle of the back panel. I did this.
I sewed the 1/2" welt cord to the front panel.
The back panel with the zipper across the middle of it is a very stretchy, crumply type of fabric. The front panel fabric is a stiffer fabric.
When I went to sew the two panels together, which should have taken 15 minutes because I had to pin everything, it actually took 1 1/2 hours.
Why you ask? Because I put a zipper at the bottom of the two panels.
Why you ask? Because I just love to screw up and loose any profit whatsoever on soooooo many of my jobs.
Of course I couldn't leave two zippers in the thing. I just laughed and laughed and laughed.
I'm glad I don't wear cowboy boots!
SUNDAY FUNNY. (Will I go to hell for telling a dirty joke on Sunday?)
All drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name.
Example, the trade name is Tylenol and its generic name is Acetaminophen.. Aleve is also called Naproxen
Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for V-i-a-g-r-a.
After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin.
Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Phizer Corp announced today that will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer..
It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.
Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink'.
Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and V-i-a-g-r-a today than on Alzheimer's research.
This means that by 2020, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
If you don't send this to five old friends right away there will be five fewer people laughing in the world

Christopher Hitchens died last year. For those of you who may not know, he was a writer for Vanity Fair. He was also one of the most popular atheists of our time.
Two jokes about his death.
1. On his death bed, to everyone's surprise, he asked for a death bed conversion. Family and friends immediately brought in a priest. And just before he died, Chris converted the priest to atheism.
2. On his death bed, Chris was asked if he would renounce Satan. He said, "I think it's a bit too late to start making enemies now."

It's nice to know Ted still has a sense of humor. I always thought being locked in a concrete room 23 hours every day without exception was a slow form of pre frontal lobotomy. But maybe Teddy has found a way to beat the slow "drip, drip, drip," of sensory deprivation. I wonder if he's angry at his brother who turned him in and has since been making a living giving talks about Ted?
BOSTON (AP) -- Harvard University alumni attending their 50th class reunion this week are getting updates on classmates, but one person stands out among those sharing news about career moves, retirements and grandkids -- Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.
Kaczynski graduated in 1962 and is locked up in the federal Supermax prison in Colorado for killing three people and injuring 23 during a nationwide bombing spree between 1978 and 1995. In an alumni directory, he lists his occupation as "prisoner" and says his awards are "Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998."

Our zoo has polar bears. Occasionally you will see an entire hind quarter of meat, or front quarter, with the bone,
in their pen area.
I always thought it would be fun to put a small pair of pants or a small shirt on the meat before it was thown into
the pen. You could put a small orange shirt on it and then make announcements over the intercom telling people
that little Jimmy Jones has gone missing. He is wearing blue jeans and an orange shirt. Anyone seeing little Jimmy
please contact the visitors center. Now this is funny!

Sam had been in the computer business for 25 years and was finally sick of the stress. He quit his job and bought 50 acres of land in West Virginia to be as far away from humanity as possible.
Upon settling in, Sam sees the mailman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise, it's total peace and quiet.
After 6 months or so of almost total isolation, he's finishing dinner one day when someone knocks on his door. He opens it and there is a big, bearded man standing there. "Name's Enoch... Your neighbor from four miles over the ridge... Having a party Saturday... Thought you'd like to come."
"Great," says Sam, "after 6 months of this I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
As Enoch is leaving he stops, "Gotta warn you there's gonna be some drinking." "Not a problem... After 25 years in the computer business, I can drink with the best of 'em."
Again, as he starts to leave, Enoch stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too." Damn, Sam thinks... Tough crowd. "Well, I get along with people. I'll be there. Thanks again."
Once again Enoch turns from the door. "I've seen some wild sex at these parties, too."
"Sex? Sex!?," exclaims Sam, "Who's going to be there?!"
Enoch stops in the door again and says:
