A grade school teacher in Kentucky asked her students to use the word
‘fascinate’ in a sentence. Molly put up her hand and said, ‘My family went
to my granddad’s farm, and
we all saw his pet sheep It was fascinating.’ The teacher said, ‘That was
good, but I wanted you to use the word
fascinate, not fascinating’. Sally raised her hand. She said, ‘My family
went to see Rock City and I was
fascinated.’ The teacher said, ‘Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you
to use the
word, ‘fascinate.’ Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated
because she had been
burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he
could damage the word ‘fascinate’, so she called on him. Johnny said, ‘My
Aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can
only fasten eight.’ The teacher sat down and cried.
