The School Auto Shop.
Taking great pains to be specific, the new auto-shop teacher on our staff explained to three of his students that he wanted them to clean a car that was parked outside. He gave them two extension cords, the vacuum cleaner, a bucket, rags and the car keys. He mentioned that the car was one to be used in his class.
Later he went out and discovered them sitting in the car, feet up on the dashboard, listening to the stereo. "Why aren't you vacuuming the car?" he asked.
"Because the extension cord wouldn't reach," was the reply.
Exasperated, the teacher stated, "That's why I gave you two."
"We tried the other one," a student said, "but it wouldn't reach either.”

And it's our tax dollars that pay to educate these students...a waste of money in some cases.

Well, I guess that makes sense. What a dumb shop teacher, he should have known better.
(Funny but so sad because in a lot of cases, this would be true!)

Sadly, that sounds about right. It'd make a great joke, if it weren't true!!😥

LOL....funny and true to a point....or should I say joint? Being raised in a farming/rural community there weren't as many slack jawed mouth breathers around when I was a teen but nonetheless we sure pulled off our share of bonehead moves....lol.
