A first grade teacher had twenty-five students in her class and she presented each child in her class the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It’s hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading these keep in mind that these are first graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is classic!

I am sure you have read this.. it may not be from first grader.  But since I had had some good laugh reading them, I would like to share them with you

I’m not that familiar with most of the proverb though so if you know the actual ending of the phrase, please let me know via comment kay?

Enjoy your Sunday!! 🙂

A bus stops and two Italian men get on.They sit down and engage in An animated conversation.The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:

“Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time.”

“You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine,”retorted the lady indignantly.”In this country….we don’t speak aloud in public places about our sex lives……… ”

“Hey, coola down lady,” said the man. “Who talkin’ abouta sexa? I’m a justa tellin’ my frienda how to spella ‘Mississippi’.”

/end 🙂

Lesson learnt –

• No eavesdropping

• Some people just have accent, so when we heard them wrong, we probably were. (I’m not so sure whether an Italian speak that way, more like a reggae-like talking don’t you think?)

Enjoy your Sunday everyone

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

“I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes” replies Watson. “And what do you deduce from that?” Watson ponders for a minute.

“Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?”

Holmes is silent for a moment. “Watson, you idiot!” he says. “Someone has stolen our tent!”

🙂 Lesson learnt – The answer to most question in life is often not that complicated.

Question
1) Do I love him/her? – yes/no
2) How to go to work early tomorrow? – Sleep earlier
3) What to do to get promotion? – Work harder
4) Who is that guy with my girlfriend? – Ask him

Of course, some answers deserve every consideration. We must consider every factors before making a decision. I am all for that, but believe me when I say that most of the time, we actually already know the answer to it. And it is just that simple..

The problem is when we want to figure out any other way to get what we want. In short, we want an answer that we like or sometimes, we just want to complicate things for fun 🙂

Any other questions you might know that we often complicated their answers? 🙂

Enjoy your weekend dear friends… I apparently is now having headache. Hopefully tomorrow, with some sleep it’ll get better.
