Mel,
I love the fire drill story. It made me laugh out loud and my son
asked me what I was reading.
One year, every time the secretary would come on and make an
announcement over the school PA, I would simply stop whatever I was
doing, stand and face the speaker and salute. I didn't say a word to
the kids about what I was doing. Since I teach little kids, they
looked at me, copied what I did and I could see them giggling quietly
to themselves. I work for a great playful principal. He came in one
time while we were all standing at attention, he just stopped, looked
at us and saluted the speaker too, then left. The kids love him.

START YOUR DAY WITH A BIT OF HUMOUR
A doctor at an insane asylum decided to take his patients to a
baseball game.
For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his
commands.
When the day of the game arrived, everything went quite well.
As the National Anthem started, the doctor yelled, "Up Nuts", And
the patients complied by standing up.
After the anthem, He yelled, "Down Nuts", And they all sat back
down in their seats.
After a home run was hit, the doctor yelled, "Cheer Nuts", They
all broke out into applause and cheered.
When the umpire made a particularly bad call against the star of
the home team,
The Doctor yelled, "Booooo Nuts" and they all started booing and
cat calling.
Comfortable with their response, the doctor decided to go get a
beer and hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge.
When he returned, there was a riot in progress.
Finding his tizzied assistant, the doctor asked, "What in the world
happened?"
The assistant replied, "Well everything was going just fine until
this guy walked by and yelled, "PEANUTS" ! ! !
