A lecturing teacher noticed a lack of enthusiasm in her class. Few were paying attention so she decided to make an announcement, "The person to answer this next question gets to go home."
The students were all brought to attention and a buzz went over the room. Suddenly, a male student grabbed his bag nd threw it out the window. The entire class went quiet. The teacher said, "Who did that?!" with a sense of anger behind her voice.
"Me," the male student replied. "Now I can go home for answering your question." So he walked out of the classroom.

That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so dressed up.
That I could change so much and barely realize it.
That college kids throw airplanes too.
That you can know everything and fail a test.
That you can know nothing and ace a test. (I know a bunch of us are testimony to this one!)
That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few years.
That I would become one of those people that my parents warned me about.
That the more money your parents give you, the less you have every time you check your account!

A visitor to a certain college paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus.
"It's a pleasure to see a building named for Ernest Hemingway," he said.
"Actually," said his guide, "it's named for Joshua Hemingway. No relation."
The visitor was astonished. "Was Joshua Hemingway a writer, also?"
"Yes, indeed," said his guide. "He wrote a check."

"I've just had the most awful time," said a boy to his friends. "First I got angina pectoris, then arteriosclerosis. Just as I was recovering, I got psoriasis. They gave me hypodermics, and to top it all, tonsillitis was followed by appendectomy."
"Wow! How did you pull through?" sympathized his friends.
"I don't know," the boy replied. "Toughest spelling test I ever had."
