That's How You Teach A Lesson:

According to a news report, a certain private school recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.

That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers, and then there are educators...

Season Tickets:

Amy was reading a newspaper while her husband was engrossed in a game on TV. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. “Listen to this, there’s a classified ad here where a guy is offering to swap his wife for season tickets.”

“Hmmm,” her husband said, not bothering to look away from the game.

Amy said teasingly, “Would you swap me for season tickets?”

“Absolutely not,” he said, “season’s more than half over."

Olden Days :

The old pastor made it to a practice to visit the parish school one day a week.
He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name.
They came up with about 40 names.

He jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states.
One lad raised his hand and said, “Yes, but in those days there were only 13.”

I Picked Wisdom:

An angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the history teacher that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behaviour, the Lord will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty. Without hesitating, the history teacher selects infinite wisdom.

“Done!” says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning. Now, all heads turn toward the history teacher, who sits surrounded by a faint halo of light.

One of his colleagues whispers, “Say something.” The history teacher sighs and says, “I should have taken the money.”
