  ------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------

One day, in an effort to help stir up a class full of listless students,
Loretta asked the students to each come up and put on the blackboard
something that had caused a lot of excitement around their houses
lately.

She called on Nancy.  Nancy went up to the board and drew a flower,
stating that the flowers they'd planted that spring were all blooming,
and that was causing a lot of excitement around their house.

Loretta said, "That's very nice, Nancy."

Next she calls on little Timmy, who goes up to the board and draws a
stick figure of an animal.

"What kind of animal is that?" asks Loretta.

"That's a puppy," says Timmy. "We just got one of those, and it's caused
a lot of excitement around our house lately."

"That's very nice, Timmy," she replies. "Who wants to go next?"

Dirty Johnny is waving more than ever; finally unable to ignore him any
longer, Loretta says, "Okay, Johnny, you're next."

Dirty Johnny goes up to the front of the classroom and draws a single
dot on the board.

"What's that?" she asks (afraid of what the answer is going to be).

"That's a period," answers dirty Johnny.  "My sister's missed two of
those, and you can bet that's caused a lot of excitement around OUR
house!"
