hi steve,

haven't lost my sense of humor - never without it ;~))))
don't even mind a good teacher joke.

"If there are any idiots in the room, will they please stand up" said  
the sarcastic teacher. After a long silence, one freshman rose to his  
feet.

"Now then mister, why do you consider yourself an idiot?" enquired  
the teacher with a sneer.

"Well, actually I don't," said the student, "but I hate to see you  
standing up there all by yourself."

Yet, "if you can't do, teach... if you can't teach...teach gym..."

does not strike me as funny or useful.

probably because I had too many teachers who couldn't do or teach,  
including a gym teacher who should have been in prison. Sorry ;~(

Regards,
George Lottermoser
