Embarrassing Teacher Moment: Puns

Okay. So we've all had them. Those cringeworthy moments that make our cheeks burn and our heads hang.

I thought I'd share some of mine just to let others know they are not alone.

This one happened when I was looking for a joke to use on a handout as an example of a pun. I found a site that had several to pick from. I simply chose one, copied and pasted, and ran off the handouts. I don't know if I just didn't notice which one I had selected, or if I copied the wrong one and forgot to proofread. However, my students sure noticed.

Here's the joke.

Q. What did the psychiatrist say to the naked patient wrapped in cellophane?
A. I can clearly see you're nuts.

Needless to say, my students couldn't stop laughing. And I had to grin and bear it.

Oh, well. I think they understood what a pun was after that. lol!



Some days it's either laugh or cry.
