Every time I think of it I am blown away - what happens to these ears when these people are 42 and hoping to get that really awesome promotion that includes a company car and access to the corporate golf course?

How does he think this will feel in forty years when his grandkids are pulling on the "toys" in grandad's lobes?<br /><br />Or perhaps he won't procreate.<br /><br />Only two more days to go, Sheepie.

Our kids take tests almost every year and it's a whole week of lost curriculum time.

Maybe the problem is students don't always appreciate the practical applications of boring math formulas, like using 2πr to calculate the circumference of one's gauged earlobes.... I have enough trouble getting gauge on my knitting, I can't imagine what my earlobes would look like if I started messing with them!Julia Gnoreply@blogger.com
