I Must Have Said Joint 1,000 Times in Class Today

**Kya** · 10-10-2006, 04:02 PM

So I am studying the human body with my fifth graders and we are working on the Skeletal System. Our focus the past few days has been the different types of joints in the body. I chuckle to myself everytime I say..........

"Class get out your joints."

"Did everyone finish your joints?"

"How many types of joints are there?"

"How would your body act, if you had no joints?"

It goes on like this for three science classes

It's not a surprise at all, coming from a guy who (at one time) looked like this:

Did you mention anything about spliffs, I mean splints, and how they stabilize the joints?

reminds of the sesame street spoof:

"Today's episode has been...heh heh...brought to you by the letter...JOINT!...hehheh."

I taught kids about joints last year, and for some reason, I didn't think about the other meaning. I did teach kids about astronomy/physics one year and tried to find many ways around saying balls for several class periods.

[Randall "pink" Floyd] Joint subcommittee meeting on the 50 yard line in 15. Are you there? [/rpf]

Also reminds me of this prank call comedy sketch where a guy with a british accent calls the hardware store looking for some "caulk."
"I need some black caulk. I need some caulk that can fill a big gap, that last a long time, etc."

crank yankers I think.

Niles Standish: So, just so I have this straight. You handle a lotta different kind of caulk. You carry black caulk and white caulk and the caulk doesn't get hard and it's ok to get the caulk in your mouth.

Employee: No. You definitely don't want the caulk in your mouth.

Niles Standish: Well, speak for yourself, love.

To say Magma was to lose the entire class. hehe,.

A RSP Teacher at our high school sat in on one of my government classes yesterday...halfway through the class I had a discussion going on about some landmark Supreme Court cases when this kook collegue of mine asks about the 2001 medicinal marijuana case that went before the Court--U.S. v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative--wierd considering all the cases he could have added to the discussion and he chose that one, odd considering I am a long-haired hippy teacher (whom students don't believe doesn't smoke the stuff), and just plain pure irony considering the other teacher's name is Roche (pronounced "Roach").

But I am sure that I managed not to say the word "joint" ever in the discussion.

peace,
