Over the last few years I have accumulated quite
a large amount of very funny material. Most of it has simply arrived in my e-mail box. ETNI
members and other friends have posted the material and instead of deleting
the messages I have saved them. I knew that I would find good use for this
material as a teacher. Perhaps, you
will also choose to bring a smile to your students' lips
Unfortunately, I can not give
credit to the authors or the compilers; in most cases the credit didn't
appear in the e-mail messages
.
A telephone conversation Side
splittingly funny conversation between a hotel guest and room service in
a hotel in the Far East! Give it time. Don't give up!
Weird laws Did you know that in Chicago,
Illinois, it is illegal to fish in pajamas?
Axioms of life A collection of
"axioms": Save the whales. Collect the whole set
FRANCE CIA type Fact Book information on
France. I laughed out loud a number of times. It would be a good idea to
use this piece with the short story "Mr. know-all"
Please drop me a line and tell if
and how you incorporated any of this material into your teaching.
Thanks!
