Teachers are paid too much! Im fed up with teachers and their hefty salaries for only 9 months work! What we need here is a little perspective. If I had my way, Id pay teachers babysitting wages.

Thats right. Instead of paying these outrageous taxes, Id give them $3.00 an hour. And, Im only going to pay them for 5 hours, not planning time. That would be $15.00 a day. Each parent should pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to baby sit their children. Even if they have more than one child, its still cheaper than private daycare.

Now how many children do they teach a day – maybe 20? Thats $15.00 x 20 = 300.00 a day. But remember, they only work 180 days a year! Im not going to pay them for all the vacations: $300.00 x 180 =$54,000. (Just a minute my calculator must need batteries.)

What will teachers say about those who have 10 years of experience and a masters degree? Well, maybe (just to be fair) they could get the minimum wage. We can round that off to about $6.00 an hour, times 5 hours, times 20 children. $6.00 x 5 x 20. Thats $600 a day times 180 days. Thats only $108,000.

Wait a minute! There is something wrong here…

Little Johnny was at school when the teacher asked the class to come up with a sentence or a story containing the word Lovely.

Well, Little Johnny was waving his hand in the air frantically. The teacher decided not to ask Little Johnny and picked Alice.

Alice got up and said, Today it is sunny outside and the children are playing outside. What a lovely day!

The teacher again did not want to ask Little Johnny who was still waving his hand in the air frantically. The teacher picked Billy to tell his story.

Billy got up and said, I went to my sisters wedding last week. The church was decorated with flowers and ribbons. Everyone remarked that the bride and groom made a lovely couple.

By this time the teacher decided to ask Little Johnny since she could not think of anything he could say wrong with the word lovely in the story.

Little Johnny stood up and told his story. The other day I was sitting at the dinning room table with my family. My sister spoke up and told my dad that she had a new boyfriend.

The teacher thought this was great, Little Johnny had not said anything offensive so she made him continue. Little Johnny continued, She then told my dad that she was pregnant. My dad replied, Lovely, just F***en Lovely.

There are three engineers in a car; an electrical engineer, a chemical engineer, and a Microsoft engineer. Suddenly the car just stops by the side of the road, and the three engineers look at each other wondering what could be wrong.

The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the car and trying to trace where a fault might have occurred. The chemical engineer, not knowing much about cars suggests that maybe the fuel is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere.

Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes up with a suggestion. Why dont we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows again, and maybe itll work!?

A farmhand is driving round the farm, checking the fences. After a few minutes he radios his boss and says, Boss, Ive got a problem! I hit a pig on the road and hes stuck in the bull-bars of my truck. Hes still wriggling — what should I do?

In the back of your truck theres a shotgun. Shoot the pig in the head and when it stops wriggling you can pull it out and throw it into the bushes.

The farm worker agrees and signs off. About 10 minutes later he radios back.

Boss I did what you said, I shot the pig and dragged it out and threw it into the bushes.

So whats the problem now? his Boss snapped.

The blue light on his bike is still flashing!

After dozens of very expensive tests and weeks of hospitalization, the rich old man was told he had only 24 hours to live.



He immediately called his doctor and his lawyer to his room. He asked the doctor to stand by one side of his bed and his lawyer to stand by the other.



After standing for some time, the doctor asked What do you want me to do?

Nothing. Just stand there.



A while later, the lawyer asked What do you want me to do?

Nothing. Just stand there.



As the hours wore on, the doctor and the lawyer watched the man weaken. When his time had almost arrived, the doctor and the lawyer again asked Why are we standing here?



Well, said the old man, Christ died between two thieves, so I thought Id do the same!

If anything can go wrong, it will.
