Petty Girl

This truly happened in an advanced oral English classroom:
When the teacher asked the students: "What surprised you most in Tsinghua?"

One of them answered, "Well, I'd heard that girls in Tsinghua were terribly ugly before I came here. However, when I arrived here myself, I was surprised to find
there's so many pretty girls, some of them are even sexy......"

At that, all girls in the room smiled shyly. Then he continued, "But when the holiday was over, I found all of them had gone!"

An Easy B

A professor stood before his class of twenty senior organic biology students, about to hand out the final exam. "I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this semester. I know you've all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to medical school after summer. So that no one gets their GPA messed up because they might have been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the course."

There was much rejoicing in the class as students got up, walked to the front of the class, and took the professor up on his offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, "Anyone else? This is your last chance."

One final student rose up and opted out of the final. The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining. "I'm glad to see you believe in yourself," he said. "You all get 'A's."

How to Remember the Presidents

My American History teacher was giving a lecture about the first three presidents. A lot of people in my class can't remember presidents very well.

"You all are brainwashed," he said.

Of course, there was confusion in the room at this comment.

"Let me demonstrate," he continued, "'I'm Cuckoo for...'"

"Cocoa Puffs!" the class replied.

"You don't know the ninth president of the United States, but you know that you are 'Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.'"

Then, this one guy in my class said, "If the presidents were finger-lickin' good, we'd remember 'em."

Rex Goes To College

A young man goes off to college, but about one-third of the way through the semester, he's foolishly squandered the money his parents had given him.

"Hmmmm," he wonders. "How am I going to go about getting more dough?" Then he gets and idea and phones his father.

"Dad, you won't believe the wonders that modern education is coming up with!" he says. "Why, they have a program here that will teach Rex how to talk!"

"That's amazing!" exclaims his father. "How do I get him in that program?"

"Just send him down here with $1000," the son says, "I'll get him into the course." So his father sends the dog and the $1000.

About two-thirds of the way through the semester, he again runs out of money. He calls his father again.

"So, how's Rex doing, son?" his father asks.

"Awesome, dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this, they've had such good results with this program, that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals to READ!"

"READ!?" says his father. ""No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program?"

"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class," the son says. So the father sends the money.

At the end of the semester, the son finds he has a problem. When he gets home, his father is going to find out that the dog can neither talk nor read, so he shoots the dog. When he gets home, his father is all excited.

"Where's Rex?" asks his father. "I can't wait to hear him talk and listen to him read something!"

"Dad," the son says, "I have some pretty grim news. When I got out of the shower this morning, Rex was in the living room kicking back in the recliner, reading the morning paper, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your dad still messin' around with that hot blonde who lives on Minute Street?'"

The father replies, "Damn! I sure hope you shot that lyin' dog!"

The son replies, "I sure did, Dad!"

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."

Each simile listed below was actually used by high school students in their various essays and short stories:

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
