Overheard at work today...
A supervisor entered the meeting room and demanded that the lights are to be switched on as it was dark.
All his subordinates could not react to his request...
The reason: He had his sunglasses on...
Application: Sometimes, the problem is not out there but we need to search within ourselves the cause of the problem.

Fun@Work - Flu Symptoms?
Due to the H1N1 epidemic, schools implemented twice daily temperature taking exercise and visual screening to pull out students who are unwell.
One day, a student came up to me and told me that he wanted to go home because he had "fool symptoms".

The graduating students in my school are sprinting to the school gate recently in the morning...
Practising for the Sports Day?
Nope!
My principal announced that they will be locked out from intensive classes if they do not report by 730am... :)

Fun@Work - Father & Son, Partners in Crime...
Heard from a colleague that he drove with one hand and drank from a bottle with the other hand on the other day.
His son, aged 5, was shocked and exclaimed that it is illegal to drink and drive...
He passes his bottle to his boy and made him took a sip.
To explain that it's not alcohol and what is drink driving?
Nope. He told his son, "It's ok. We are both drink driving now..."

Fun@Work - Generation Gap
In order to promote the speaking of proper English, a teacher in a particular primary school put on a construction helmet and yellow boots so as to imitate "Phua Chu Kang" (a character in Channel 5 sitcom who speaks Singlish) during a school assembly.
When he went up the stage, he asked at the top of his voice, " do you know who I am?"
The lower primary students shouted, "Bob, The Builder!"
There are no failures, only learning experiences...

My school introduced a "Restroom Project" for Secondary One classes to adopt a restroom in the school.
While brainstorming for ideas, one boy was over enthusiastic and suggested guarding the restroom to make sure no one steps on the toilet seat and buying a machine that blows the floor dry.
My patience finally runs out when he suggested having fans so that the users will not feel warm while clearing their bowels.
I told him that he can stay in the restroom to make sure no one steps on the toilet seats, mop the floor dry and fan anyone who is having a hard time clearing their bowels.

There has been some mischief in the boys' toilet recently.
My principal informed us that she will be checking on the toilets on her rounds.
She explained that the male students are like sons to her.
The male teachers looked worried...

One of my "favourite" army song which I share with my students today...
Original Version
"What you wanna be ah...
Echo Guardsmen..."
Our Version
"What you wanna be ah...
Cook, Clerk, Storeman..."

During my lesson on Natural Vegetation, I knocked on the door and the table to show that the difference in the sound will determine if they are made of solid or compressed wood.
After the students could identify the "hollow" sound, I asked them to knock on their friends' head to see whose head is empty...

It seems to me:
Lose, Win, Never Mind

The students went through a workshop recently...
They were taught not to say the word "try" but use "I shall".
The class agreed that any classmate that uses the word "try", shall pay a fine of 50 cents.
One boy said, "I will try my best" in class today.
When he was told to pay the fine, he complained,
"I have already try my best to try not to use the word try."
He paid $2...

But "scholar"... different... :)
