Stories from School

In math class we were solving math problems full of funny names, like Butch Err the butcher and the Pikkitt Lock Company. Suddenly, a student emerged from the alternate door to the classroom; the one that connects it to the neighboring room. "The door was locked," he explained. "I was standing there knocking on the door for a while, and then I just decided to come around this way." As he sat down at his desk, the doorknob turned and a student entered through the main door. She sat down, bewildered as to why the class was laughing hysterically. "Maria must have a special key," my math teacher said. "Or she shops at Pikkitt Lock Company," said a student.

"And then you turn it on," directed my chemistry teacher. "Something about turning this thing on is that it tends to work better if you plug it in," he said, as he plugged in the scale. 
"Is that a general property of things you turn on?" asked a student. "Well," said the teacher, "I'm not sure I should make such a broad generalization at this point..." He pushed the "on" button and a light lit up. "Oooh, light!" he said.
"Well, we assume it's light..." said a student. :)
