Malapropism

The Science teacher told his eager class
"Alas, I can’t read without my eye glass
In rest room, left my testicles"
What he meant was ‘spectacles’
The children broke into laughter en masse

Ha!! Ha!! Some absent-minded people can be funny. My husband is getting worse and worse but sometimes it is not funny. Thanks for sharing this humor with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

'Twas a long day for that poor science teacher, eh?! Nicely done, Valsa. Thanks for the chuckle and the smile. ~ Follow the 'Science,' (but not the teacher!) lol.
