A joke that wrote itself

he English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns
for groups of animals. 
There is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well
as their cousins the rooks and ravens), a School of fish, an Exaltation of
doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.
Now consider the baboon. The loudest, most dangerous and viciously
aggressive of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a
group of baboons – a Congress.
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves….........

Lipstick in School

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem: A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom...That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips on the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.

She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine all the yawns from the little princesses).

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror

There are teachers . . . and then there are educators

Why Not?
