STICKS AND CLUBS

Teenagers can be very clever and quick witted.  I was walking through the cafeteria at Seneca after school one day and the field hockey team was meeting.  Being known a a big tease, I had to make a comment.  I asked them why no one had ever come up with a better name for the piece of equipment called a stick.  A girl looked up with a slight grin, knowing I was the golf coach, and asked, "And what is it they call that thing you hit golf balls with?"  The answer, as you know, is a club.  Great comback, I laughed out loud.

I had picked quite a few pounds over the years and a bit of a pot belly and jokingly said in class one day, I know there's a six pack under there somewhere.  A student retorted with, "Why do you need a six pack, you a have a perfectly good keg."

A fellow teacher was writing names of study hall student who would like to use the library and not wanting to admit that he could not remember a girls last names asked her to spell it.  With a straight face she, said "J-O-N-E-S.  the jig was up.

What a fun job.
