Back to Baldrick again :

"C - big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in."

Pupil (when writing in exercise book) : "what do I do when I get to the bottom of the page?"
Me : " You could write on the desk if you like"
Pupil (in all seriousness!) : "Oh, I thought perhaps you wanted me to turn over. How can I hand it in if I write on the desk?"

Not CH but...........

No, that would have been the answere to the question:-

What is the opposit of a pencil eraser used at sea?
Answers in Japanese, please.

I thought that was a hot drink taken by incontinent, crumbly old people, Plum ??

Given it up for Cocoa, now, then, Eh ??

Compline was nice - it was 15 mins not being on display where you could just be quiet and be yourself and that was all that was expected.

As for giving answers in classes... when I was about five we had a sort of religious studies lesson. The teacher went round the class asking us all which religion we were.

"Which religion are you Jimmy?" asked the teacher.
"Catholic," said Jimmy.
"And how about you, Deborah"
I replied, "I'm not sure - but I think we're Prostitutes."

Obviously I meant Protestant.... And my parents still wheel out that story at the most inopportune moments today.

Our matron said "Toodle-oo!" to me which apparently meant "Goodbye"

I'd never heard the term and answered

"I've already been."

Surely, this is a variation on a VERY old joke ?

Er... well I find it a very old joke having lived with it for 23 years!!! I guess it's an easy mistake to make.

But I enjoyed it and have deliberately misquoted it elsewhere on this forum. (to do with nuns - and postulants!)

Thank you Debbie

Apparantly many patients, when asked their religion on admission to hospital, will end up putting "COV" on the form....
