contagious A teacher asks her class to use the word "contagious". Roland the class brainiac, gets up and says, "Last year I got the measles and my mum said it was contagious.""Well done, Roland," says the teacher. "Can anyone else try?"Katie, a sweet little girl with pigtails, says, "My grandma says there's a bug going round, and it's contagious." "Well done, Katie," says the teacher. "Anyone else?"Little Irish Seamus jumps up and says in a broad accent, "Our next door neighbour is painting his house with a 2 inch brush, and my dad says it will take the contagious.
A primary school teacher in Newcastle asked her students to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence. Kelly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my granddad's farm, and we all saw his sheep. It was fascinating." The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word fascinate, not fascinating." Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to Wet and Wild and I was fascinated." The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word fascinate, not fascinated." Little Geordie Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Geordie Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate', so she called on him. Little Geordie Johnny said, "My Aunt Shelly has a shirt with ten buttons, but her boobs are so big she can only fasten eight."
