Some School Tests Humor

A friend sent this funnies which are circulating on the Internet. They are supposed to be actual answers that young kids wrote on their history tests. Whether they are or not, the quips are funny enough to make me laugh out loud. I hope you enjoy them, too:

• Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.

• In the first Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. The games were messier then than they show on TV now.

• Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out "Same to you, Brutus."

A little boy walking down the aisle in front of the bride and groom called out, “Gr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r.” He would then walk a few more feet and call out, “Gr-r-r-r-r.” All the way down to the altar. Walk, call out “Gr-r-r-r-r,” walk, call out “Gr-r-r-r.”

When the wedding was over, the little boy’s mother said, “What were you doing? Why did you keep saying “Gr-r-r-r”?

Looking puzzled, the little boy answered, “Well, you told me I was the ring bear.”

This red, white, and yellow wire rooster plant stand isn't all that humorous, as humor goes. But it is so cheerful that I smile every time I go out on the deck and see it. A big wire rooster just standing there, holding whatever plant has been put into it. When I look at the rooster, I feel joy and my spirits lighten up.

My husband and I want to increase the number of times we laugh everyday! So one thing we have done is buy this little figure made by a craftsperson from Australia and put the figure in our kitchen/family room area. I can’t speak for Jerele, my husband, but I can say that I laugh everytime I look over and see this comical figure, which is many, many times a day! I hope you laugh, too, when you look at the picture.

A reader in the Netherlands sent this humorous bit:

A rookie policeman was being interviewed for a promotion. Near the end of the interview, one of the questioners quizzed the applicant:

“What would you do if you had to arrest your mother?”

“Call for backup,” was the young cop’s immediate reply.
