The School teacher

[wrag]

A school teacher injured his back during the summer and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all.

On the first day of the fall school term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest group of students in the school. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his chest.

Discipline was not a problem from that day forth.

That's funny.

The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool. The confused student asked, "Excuse me, but why are we doing this?"

The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.

The student didn't think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough. However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, "All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!"

The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile,
"Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill."

That's an old-fart joke.  I never had any teachers who wore a tie, least of all in college.

I had several in grade school that did.  That was in the early 90s.  Seemed to change around the mid-90s though when it seemed to go more "business casual."

That sounds about right.  When I first started teaching in the mid 80's, a lot of the male teachers still wore ties.  Later on it seemed like most of us were wearing polo shirts with the school logos on them.  Why not?  Each year the school would give us another one or two, they didn't cost us anything, and were more comfortable.  It also made you feel like part of the "team" - semi-uniform, or something like that.

My 5th graders teacher wears a tie to work every day.   It's refreshing to see.

The joke was great
