If April showers bring May flowers, why couldnt' they land in Virginia?

It's been a while. Let's get down to it:

1. "When I'm driving, I have to do something with my hands." CS
I heard this one speaking to a young chain-smoker. While attempting to discern why she smokes, she indicated she does so when she gets bored. Goodness, I hope she doesn't drive near me. I'll have to park farther away...

2. "Is Gettyburg just a battlefield, or is it a town, too?" CP
Oy! Said by a usually bright student before embarking on a field trip to the Civil War battlesite.

More later... (hopefully sooner than later)

April Showers bring Ridiculosity

On watching a documentary on the 1970's (shown on the History Channel) M.D. asked the following when the commercials came on:
"They had Geico in the 70's?"
Apparently she did not realize that the commercials were NOT from the 1970's as well.

"I have no idea what is meant by 'turn-of-the century'." One of the board's favorite posters, Favorite Student, said this today, shortly after the aforementioned quote. Goodness.

"Didn't they always have disposable diapers?" Again, from Favorite Student. Apparently, she couldn't imagine a time before Huggies, Pampers, etc. Remember when diapers were made out of cloth?

The Board of Ridiculosity

This blog is lovingly dedicated to Stephani Kramer and her comments of ridiculosity. Stephani Kramer's statements were sometimes so outrageous and so crazy, that I had to create a new word, just for her. My favorite experience: I had Stephani in my Latin I class in high-school. While I try not to be a pretentious snob, Latin is the reason that I truly wanted to go into teaching, and I always get excited about teaching the language, even after doing it for several years. One day, while I was typically thinking of Latin, Stephani raised her hand to indicate she had a question. Expecting something regarding the lesson, I was shocked to hear her ask: "If we have a fire drill, and I'm in the bathroom, should I finish first or leave with the class?" And thus, the ridiculosity begins...
