We all must get these crazy sentences from time to time. Most of them I can suss out. The following one is a mystery to me:

"Work slave it is wonderful."

This one I did finally sort out:

"I fisted my family on the weekend."

What are some of your favorites?

I still inwardly laugh when one of my students asks me for a "rubber". Shocked I, instinctively, want to reach for my wallet. Laughing

One of my female students once wrote that "boys are made of cockies".

She meant to be poetic- they are sweet and are made of cookies.

Not really... one never gets used to this and continues to go between cringing or giggling... depending on your mood of the day. Cool

Note found on my desk:

Dear Miss VS,

I came on your desk.

But, you are not here.

Please tick for me that I was here.

Abdullah

(he wants that to be proof that he wasn't absent... even though, of course, he never attended the class... more student logic)

Dear NCTBA,

So, presumably, if you were rude to a lady (or a certain sort of gentleman) at the shore, you would run the risk of getting "BEACH SLAPPED."

Regards,
John Smile
