Laugh Lines!!

I am not one to read the newspaper as it just depresses me. I do, on occasion, pick up the "Tidbits" paper of various cities in the area. I found an article from the March issue that stuck my funny bone.

These are excerpts from students' exams....

  • The parts of speech are lungs and air.
  • The inhabitants of Moscow are called Mosquitoes.
  • A census taker is a man who goes from house to house increasing the population.

My collegue once reported a student asking her how to spell NAACP.

My personal favorite was when I had a student who didn't understand that "clashing armies" had nothing to do with what they were wearing...

WOW.
