As teachers, we have heard it all! I came across this blog post by Shannon Reed and wanted to share. Having enjoyed a good laugh while reading this one, I wanted to pass it on, and add a couple of my own.
~~~
“Ah, a zookeeper. So, you just babysit the animals all day?”
~~~
“My colon never acts this way at home. Are you sure you’re reading the colonoscopy results correctly? Did you ever think that maybe you just don’t like my colon?”
~~~
“I’d love to just play with actuary statistics all day. That would be so fun! I bet you don’t even feel like you’re at work!”
~~~
“You’re a sanitation worker, huh? I hated my garbage collectors when I was growing up. One of them once yelled at me when I stood directly in front of their truck and kept it from completing its appointed rounds, and ever since then I’ve just loathed all of them, everywhere.”
~~~
“So you run a ski lodge? Do you just, like, chill during the summer? Must be nice.”
~~~
“Since my singer-songwriter thing isn’t taking off yet, I’ve been thinking about going into lawyer-ing. I mean, how hard can it be?”
~~~
“I bet that’s the best part of being a banker – all the free money?”
~~~
“Do you even read your patients’ charts, or do you just assign them random dosages based on how nice they’ve been to you?”
~~~
“Before you give me a ticket, Officer, I just wanted to mention: My taxes pay your salary.”
~~~
“Oh, I’m sorry the dog bit you while you were trying to capture it and you had to get stitches, but you know, he didn’t know what he was doing.”
~~~
“Wow, pulling teeth must be so rewarding!”
~~~
“I don’t get it! My computer NEVER crashes at home. I wonder what you’re doing wrong in the office?”
~~~
“It must be nice to play pretend all day and not have to do the real-world stuff!”
Do you have any to add?
