Yeah, it's April Fool's Day, but I remembered a funny story that is absolutely true, and I have had no ideas about what to post that wouldn't sound too bitchy or raunchy (so what else is new, right?)
Right after I started my current job I met one of the founding members of the local chapter of the organization. She is, I believe, in her 80s, but still advocates for her son, who has severe schizophrenia, and volunteers as much as she is able. She's also a nice person, which is an important point in this story.
Mrs. M, as I will call her, told me she was a retired high school teacher, and that when she started teaching she kept seeing the acronym "MYOB" appear in her classroom. She assumed that meant "mind your own business."
On the last day of school, one of the students said, "It actually stands for M- You Old Bitch!"
She told us that story and we all burst out laughing.
Then she looked at us and shook her head. "I don't know why people always find that so funny!"

And this story reminds why, although I'm a qualified teacher, I decided never to teach.
Oh, that's fantastic! I LOVE it! Mrs. M. is someone I'd like to know.
One suspects the student who decided that will never go as far as her son. The reason escapes me...
Joey: Hahaha!
I: She's that rare kind of person who is funny without realizing why. She's really sweet though.
Darth: *Laughing*

S: Thanks! I laughed my ass off about that.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaahhh Haaaaaaaaaaaa

How is that NOT funny? My dad ran a trucking company and his truckers were calling him PB. He never knew what it stood for until a few months later when one of them let him know it was Prick Bastard. Haha!
John: Very funny!
CB: That is hilarious! Was the person who let him know on the way to another job? ;)
I'm with Joe. Have the degree, but not the skills.
L: I'm sure you could handle it ;)
Now that was a teacher with a sense of humor. Those students were lucky to have her.
Thanks for your kind words over at my blog. If you would like to link my site, that would be wonderful.

S: Yep!
That she's perplexed why people find it funny is what makes it even more funny :-)
So funny! At least she got a good story out of it.
