Are you caught in that vicsious cycle where everyone you know thinks they are the original joke teller? Got this today and actually made me smile:
-ws (pardon if its an oldie)
A class of third grade students in Jackson, Mississippi started a "welcome-back-to-school" class project to make a plant pot to take home and wanted to have a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so it was decided to use cactus plants.
The students were given greenware pottery in the style of a clown plant pot and they painted them with glaze and had them professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the process. It was great fun.
They planted the cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew nicely but unfortunately the children were not allowed to take them home. The cactus plants were removed and a small ivy replaced them and the children were then allowed to take them home.
When interviewed, the teacher said cactus seemed like a good idea at the time..........
You can see the teacher's dilemma as it appeared in the "Southern Style" section of the local Gannett Press.
Now you can look at the picture.
