"Jimmy has balls.
Jimmy has two balls.
Jimmy's balls are blue.
Jimmy has blue balls."
That had to be written by a foreigner taking the piss. |

A book for high schoolers was talking about careers, and listed several people from around the world and their jobs.
One man was from China. He was a pilot.
His name: WONG WEI
The class must have been on their toes, because as I explained that it sounds like something else, they got a big kick out of it. |

In my Phonics Star books on the topic of the long 'u' sound:
Correct the mistake- PUBE (a tube was pictured)
'Pube' isn't really per se, but seeing it in print helps to brighten up an otherwise tedious day! |

a picture with 3 dudes sitting on a bench.
one dude is about to sit down as well.
the sentence reads "another brother is ____ on the bench."
and you have to choose
a. sit
b. sit
c. sitting
d. sits
but
the dudes in the picture - they're all black. |
