By norse code!

Teacher: That's good.
Pupil: Good?, that's perfect!

Why did the knight run about shouting for a can opener?
He had a bee in his suit of armor!

Why were the early days of history called the dark ages?
Because there were so many knights!

Teacher: Why does the statue of liberty stand in New York harbour?
Pupil: Because it can't sit down!

What was Camelot?
A place where people parked their camels!

Who gave the Liberty Bell to Philadelphia?
Must have been a duck family
A duck family?
Didn't you say there was a quack in it!

Teacher: Where is your homework?
Pupil: I lost it fighting this kid who said you weren't the best teacher in the school

Teacher: If 1+1=2 and 2+2=4, what is 4+4?
Pupil: That's not fair! You answer the easy ones and leave us with the hard one!

When a teacher closes his eyes, why should it remind him of an empty classroom?
Because there are no pupils to see!

Why did the teacher put the lights on?
Because the class was so dim!

Teacher: How much is half of 8?
Pupil: Up and down or across?
Teacher: What do you mean?
Pupil: Well, up and down makes a 3 or across the middle leaves a 0!

SOME "OUGHT"LANGUAGE?. . .


Here a few words invented since 2000 (known as the 'ought' to some)

BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a school project failed, and who was responsible.

MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato.

STRESS PUPPY: A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiney.

404: Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not Found," meaning that the requested document could not be located.

GENERICA: Features of the American landscape that are exactly the same no matter where one is, such as fast food joints, strip malls, subdivisions.

OH-NO-SECOND: That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.

Dormitory == Dirty Room

The Morse Code == Here Come Dots

Slot Machines == Cash Lost in 'em

Mother-in-law == Woman Hitler

Snooze Alarms == Alas! No More Z's

Alec Guinness == Genuine Class

Semolina == Is No Meal

The Public Art Galleries == Large Picture Halls, I Bet

A Decimal Point == I'm a Dot in Place

The Earthquakes == That Queer Shake

Eleven plus two == Twelve plus one

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil A. Armstrong ==
A thin man ran; makes a large stride; left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!

CAN YOU GUESS THESE?

SOME PAPER AND PENCIL GAMES:

SPROUTS

If you can't quite master drawing a neat grid of dots, you might find this game easier. Draw dots randomly all over the paper. The first player draws a line between any two dots, and draws another dot in the middle of that line. The next player draws a line between any two dots, and puts a dot in the middle of that line. No lines may cross each other, but they don't have to be straight, so they can loop around other lines. Only three lines in total can emerge from any one dot. The dots put in the middle of the lines already have two lines connecting them to the two other dots, so they can only have one more line. The game continues until no more lines can be drawn. The person who did the last line is the winner.

FOLDOVERS

Give everyone a piece of paper. On the top section, draw a head. It can be an anima head or a person's head, as weird as you like. Now fold that section back, so that it's hidden, and slide it across the table to the next person. Without looking at the hidden drawing, the next person draws a chest and arms (of a person, animal, alien), folds it back as well and passes it on to the next person. Without looking at the previous pictures, that person draws a body (stomach and hips) and the final person draws the legs and feet. (You can have more or fewer sections depending on the number of people you have playing.) Finally, unfold your papers and laugh at the weird creatures you have created.
