Spell "Before"
Posted by: <@...>
A sixth grade class is doing some spelling drills. The teacher asks Tommy
if he can spell "before".
He stands up and says, "Before, B-E-P-H-O-R."
The teacher says, "No, that's wrong. Can anyone else spell 'before'?"
Another little boy stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-O-R."
Again the teacher says, "No, that's wrong."
The teacher asks, "Little Johnny, can you spell 'before'?"
Little Johnny stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-R-E."
"Excellent Johnny, now can you use it in a sentence?"
Little Johnny says, "Sure, that's easy! Two plus two be fore."

Teaching An Old Granddad
At age 93, my granddad was admitted to the hospital for the first time in
his life.
"What is this?" he asked as he held up the bell cord they had fastened to
his pillow.
"That's the bell, Granddad," I replied.
He pulled it several times, then remarked, "I don't hear it ringing."
"Oh, it doesn't ring," I explained. "It turns on a light in the hall for
the nurse."
"Well!" he replied indignantly, "if the nurse wants a light on in the
hall, she can turn it on herself."
