So as many of you already know, I am an avid fan of Jack Handey, particularly the Deep Thoughts he comes up with. For my birthday, Tony got me the book What I'd Say to the Martians, and other Veiled Threats. This book is so weird; it just proves that you put Jack Handey's name on ANYTHING, and people will buy it. Here are my two favorite quotes so far:
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not against having fun. But it has to be a controlled kind of fun, where those who are having too much fun are asked to leave, and those not having enough fun are beaten."
That quote is something that should be the motto for all the classes I've ever taught.
"I had never eaten a dog before, and I didn't intend to start now. 'Just give me some more of the copilot,' I said, extending my plate."
Okay, how awesome is that, all in two sentences. That is a perfect way to teach concise writing AND inferences all in two lines of text.
