Pupil funnies/howlers

** A teacher in an S2 English class was asked:
"what is a spire?"

The teacher replied: "a spire is an erection on top of a church."

The pupil replied:

"what's an erection called anywhere else likes?"






*A head of dept was dealing with a colleague's pupils who had been 'put out' of the classroom and had been wandering around looking for an empty classroom to work in with this group.
He referred to them as "refugees".

The next day one of them came back to speak to him and very forcibly
stated:
"And Ah'm no a refugee - we've got a brand new Ford Focus!"

A chip on the shoulder or what!!!


* There was the a question in General Computing exam some years back
asking about consequences of the increase in electronic mail.

One kid answered "Postman Pat would have to come off the TV!"

and in the Credit that year:

"Explain ASCII"

response:

"American Standard Code for information Intercourse!"

I laughed so much he got the mark!
