Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!
Chet came into the office fuming the other morning. "They're requiring my children to take sex education! And they're only in middle school!
"What's the problem?" I queried. "Don't you want your kids to understand sexual responsibility, how to have safe sex and that abstinence is an option?"
"But teaching sex ed in our public schools will only promote promiscuity," he countered.
"Surely you jest," I said. "You couldn't be talking about our public educational system!"
"Oh, yeah!" he said. "My tax dollars going to create a whole generation of kids with the morality of Britney Spears!"
"You shouldn't be concerned," I assured him. "If we promote promiscuity the same way we promote math or proper English, you definitely have nothing to worry about."
Have a very LARGE day, Folliers!

The visiting Bible school supervisor asks little Johnny during Bible class, "Who broke down the walls of Jericho?"
Johnny replies, "I dunno, but it wasn't me!"
The supervisor, taken aback by Johnny's lack of basic Bible knowledge, goes to the school principal and relates the whole incident.
The principal replies, "I know Johnny as well as his whole family very well and can vouch for them; if Johnny said that he did not do it, then I am satisfied that it is the truth."
Even more appalled, the inspector goes to the regional Head of Education and relates the whole story.
After listening he replies, "I can't see why you are making such a big issue out of this; just get three quotes and fix the damned wall!"

A chief petty officer caught an AWOL sailor as he tried to sneak aboard ship. Upon hearing the sailor's lame explanation, the petty officer told him, "Sweep every link on this anchor chain by morning, or it's the brig for you!"
The sailor picked up a broom, but before he could sweep, a tern landed on the handle. The lad picked the tern off and tossed it overboard.
The bird lit again on the broom handle, and was again tossed away.
On and on, through the night, they went through the same routine.
In the morning, when the petty officer inspected, he found the chain still dirty. "What have you been doing all night?" he demanded angrily.
"Honest, chief," came the reply, "I tossed a tern all night and couldn't sweep a link!"
