And of course, there's always this one doing the rounds.......

Jake is five and learning to read. He points at a picture in a zoo book and says, "Look Mum! It's a frickin' elephant!"

Taking a dee breath his Mum said: "What did you call it?"

Jae replied: "It's a frickin' El ephant, Mum, it says so on the picture!"

Don't we all just love phonics?

Donkeys years ago, the College I worked in (I'm still there but now its a University!) had a teacher training course for Malaysian teachers. They did some years in Malaysia and some in Bognor. The Malaysian Education Minister, a very important person, thought that it was an excellent model for training people to teach in Malaysia and whenever they came to Bognor, we had to kowtow and mind our P's and Q's.

The time came for an Annual Monitoring meeting, at which students (and the Minister) were present. As a matter of courtesy, the Chair - at the end of the meeting - asked the students if there was anything they wished to say, was there anything which the College could provide which would improve the student experience?

A male student said (in a thick Asian accent) 'Condom machine' - at which the room froze in embarrassment. It turned out he had actually said 'An Acorn machine' .... our computers at the time (in those dark ages) were Apricots.

When I heard that gem it revolved around the recently bereaved widow of a French President (Madame De Gaulle maybe).

'So, Madame, what do you miss most about your husband?'

'A penis'.
