No shower

One morning I taught in class VII.a. I replaced the teacher who was not present that morning. After I greet and fill the student attendance list. Suddenly, a sentence like this came out of my mouth:

Teacher : Who didn't take a bath this morning? please stand up ...

Silent ...

Randi then shifted her chair back, and she stood up. Randi is a good child but likes to make it in class. Seeing Randi standing up, all the students immediately laughed. The new atmosphere subsided after the teacher calmed them down.

Teacher : So, you don't take a shower, Randi?

Randi    : I'm taking a shower, sir!

Teacher : so, if you take a shower, why do you stand up?

Randi    : oh I'm not happy to see you standing alone in front of the class.

The students' laughter grew louder. The teacher couldn't hold back his laughter while Randi just smiled.

Fixing the Headstone

Once, there were two men walking home after a Halloween party. They decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones. “Holy cow, Mister!”, one of them said after catching his breath,”you scared us half to death, we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?” “Those fools!” the old man grumbled. “They mispelled my name!”
