I walked into Blimpie's with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a sandwich. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that read: "Buy-one-get-one-free". "They're already buy-one-get-one-free," she said, "so I guess they're both free." She handed my sandwiches and I walked out the door.

A friend of mine bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of the old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home. You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. My friend decided that people were too untrusting of this deal. It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale, $50." The next day someone stole it.

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said, "Where?"

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?"

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive down to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving."

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in her trunk.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big part, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me no to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked, "has your plane arrived yet?"

While working at a pizza parlor, I observed a man orderind a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

They walk among us!

 

And one from my very own experience:

 

I was over a friend's house one day when another friend decided to call 411 (information) to get the number to the KFC his mom worked at. He told the operator which road it was on and the operator then asked him which KFC...there was more than one on that road. He then responds with "The one with the big tree in the front."

I have no idea if he ever got the number or not because I was laughing so hard I couldn't even think straight.

Believe it or not they really do walk among us and sometimes closer than we realize!!

Students charged in classroom sex case

By Sharryn Harvey

 

Four of five Spearsville High School fifth-graders were arrested Tuesday on obscenity charges following reports last week of children having sex in a classroom, Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley said.

Two of the fifth-grade students are accused of having sex, two are accused of fondling.

An 11-year-old girl from Spearsville, a 12-year-old boy from Junction City and a 13-year-old boy from Spearsville were charged with obscenity and released to their parents, Buckley said. An 11-year-old Junction City boy, who was the lookout, was charged with accessory after the fact to obscenity late Tuesday.

An 11-year-old Lillie female will be charged with obscenity when she returns from an out-of-parish trip, Buckley said.

The five are accused of participating in sexual acts in their classroom March 27 while their teacher was in a morning assembly at the school.

"Our investigation indicated that the incident occurred at approximately 9 a.m. Tuesday (March 27)," Buckley said. "A student from this class told a high school student about the incident on Wednesday afternoon." "The high school student went to a teacher and reported it just prior to school being dismissed for the day," Buckley said. "Our juvenile officer was contacted Wednesday evening by the principal of the school and received the allegations," Buckley said.

The sheriff's office investigation began Thursday morning, Buckley said.

Buckley said no charges can be brought against the parents of the five.

"When the kids are at school, they relinquish all responsibility to the administration," Buckley said. "We can't do anything but look into what goes on at home. We can't charge the parents with what happened at the school.

" The children will then have a juvenile hearing to determine what punishment, if any, they will receive, Buckley said.

 

 

My first reaction to this was...WTF were these kids thinking????

I don't remember even THINKING about sex at age 11 or 12 much less would I have 'done the act' in front of the whole class!!

I can't imagine getting THAT call from school.

 

Aside from that....

 

What do you think?......

Should the parents be held responsible for what the kids did? 

Should the school administration be held responsible?

Should the kids be punished and what should the punishment be?

 

 

 

I pulled the plug on this baby

Apparently people can't see it and I've lost my patience enough for one day to do anything about it.

Sorry folks.

You'll just have to always wonder

Why does it seem like every time a plan takes shape....it turns into a blob just as fast?

That's what happened to our plans for Saturday. All last week we had planned on working in the yard and getting some spring cleaning done.

Well, Friday night the water pump on the truck went so that blew our plans of hauling stuff to the dump.

There's two huge piles of topsoil in our side yard to be spread. Hubby went to his shop to get the equipment to grade the yard and reseed it but guess what. Yep! The equipment wasn't there.

That plan was shot in the ass.

On to a different plan...

Our lawn mower died last year and we haven't gotten around to buying a new one so hubby was going to borrow the one from work for our initial spring cutting of the lawn. Yep. You guessed it. That was gone also.

So, three plans shot to hell in less than 12 hours!!

So, know what we did?

Went to Wally World, bought some cheap push mower (I'm sure my son really, really appreciates that....he's our main grass cutter and our yard is almost 2 acres to cut). We also bought a new charcoal grill because hubby hates the gas one and a new patio set for the deck.

Boy, we got a lot accomplished over the weekend!!

Oh, no wait!

We did get the deck cleaned off (had to in order to put the table there) and Hubby built shelves into the corner of the deck for my plants.

I am convinced plans are the evil spawn of Satan around my house!!!

Ok...I was tagged by Trisha (sorry if I'm a little late with this)

Five things I've heard that I'll never forget

1.   "He's breathing"

Said to me and hubby after my son was born NOT breathing and they had to work on him for    a few minutes (which seemed like an eternity)

2.  "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Said to me by my brother right before he gave me away at my wedding

3.  "I'm stuckkkyy!!"

Said by a little boy that was climbing under a fence and his pants got stuck on the wire....That was more than 20 years ago but that still plays fresh in my mind for some reason...Sometimes when I get stuck on the 4-wheeler, I tend to use this phrase.

4.  "Pssst......Stupid"

Hubby and I were looking for a greeting card for some occasion many moons ago.  We were at opposite ends of the isle when he LOUDLY whispered that phrase.  Of course, being the 'stupid' one, I look at him with an evil eye (thinking he was calling me stupid) and he busts out laughing showing me the card in his hand.  On the front was "Pssst..........Stupid".  To this day, I have no idea what was on the inside but we still use this on each other at times.

5.  "I hope you have kids just like you"

Said to me by my mom.  I still don't know if that was a compliment or her wish of payback

 

I'm sure everyone's been tagged but I'll give it a shot
