Friday Funny: Teacher Joke

*sigh*  🙁   Well, the Summer Vacation is officially over.  Since I have so many friends who are teachers and School is about to start back here in Knox County,  I thought today’s Friday Funny should go out to all my Teacher friends.  You know,  just to help prepare them for a return to the classroom and all their wonderful students after a Summer break that may have dulled their reactions.

Enjoy!  😈

A teacher was helping her student with a math problem.  She recited the following story :

“None,” the boy says with authority.

The teacher sighs.  “Tell me how you came up with that.”

“Well,” she says, “it’s not technically correct, but I like the way you think.”

“Okay,” chimes the boy, “now let me ask you a question.

Friday Funny: Poor Sheep

This week’s Friday Funny comes from deep within my e-mail archives. Actually, I just found it saved on an old external Hard drive when I was freeing up some space. The e-mail came me to originally from a friend in a previous life. It’s pretty old and I’m not sure why it has lasted on my drives as long as it has but, it’s a hoot!  😆

So, here ya go… Poor Sheep.

Email Scam – Trying another route

I got another Scam attempt in the e-mail tonight and thought I would share. I may have to make a whole new section of the site for these pitiful attempts. I guess it must sucker somebody, else they wouldn’t continue the effort. Maybe since I’ve ignored all of their other attempts, they decided they needed to switch directions. Received: from … Read more
