I don't really get your joke.  Is it because you're reading it as the teachers like me?

I read it like "caring and good people like me make good students".

It's not a very funny joke at all.

*sigh*

Ohhhhhhh.  Sorry I wrecked your joke.

Today on the announcements, they said "The 2006 football players must report to the gym for their picture", and I yelled to my class, "WOW, THAT'S ALOT OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS!!!".

and no one laughed except me.  :(

I got a card in the mail from a parent today saying that caring and good teachers like me make good students.

/brag   :-D

Funny, I read that as though the parent thought you were making your students.

And now, time for an exciting edition of "Don't be that person!" starring Xolik and Dumb Bitch Who Can't Drive! Let's check in and see what our players are up to...

X "God, I hate driving home on the 101. Traffic is completely stopped! This sucks!"
*CRUNCH*
X "Ouch! What the fucking fucking was that?"
*Gets out and sees an H3 has decided to truckrape his poor Tacoma*
X "Oh god oh god pleasebenodamageIdon'thaveinsuranceohgod..."
*Sees a slight bumper adjustment to his truck, no damage at all to the H3*
DBWCD "Ooops, tee hee. I'm sorry, here let me put down this tiny Paris Hilton type dog I'm holding in one hand and my cellphone which I'm holding in the other hand, thus causing me not to notice that the whole fucking freeway had been actually stopped."


So in this, we learned that Don't Be That Person applies to two things: Don't be that idiot who puts off renewing his insurance for 'just one more day' AND 'don't be a stereotypical Malibu Bitch with more money than brains.


I'm calling that company with the cute lizard-thing first thing in the morning and getting a policy.  :-(

I'm pretty sure I'd be in heap trouble if I got the law involved, so I was happy to just get the hell out of there.

I should have tried, but I kinda paniced and just wanted to get away.  :-(

Aww, poor xolik!  As a NJ driver, I can honestly say that most of us can't drive for shit.  I've been there man.  But with AAA and insurance.  You didn't get hurt though right?

Glad to hear that. How bad did she f*(k up your truck? Can ya get it fixed, or do you even need to?
 I hear ya about not getting the law involved. Here, though, your insurance company will tell on you as soon as your policy lapses. A letter goes to the state tax/tag office; and they in turn send you  a letter demanding a fee and letting you know your tag is suspended. So, if you even drive to the store right quick and an officer just happens to see your tag- you're toast. Even more bizarre is if you reside in a small enough community the sheriff deputies actually stop by your house to collect the tag and/or see if the vehicle is being used. Good thing you live  ..where you do.  Lotsa people; no time for stupid sheriff antics.

No real damage to the truck. I've got an online quote from Mercury Insurance right now telling me 6mos will be about $400. If that's true, then great.

Around here if you let your insurance lapse for any reason, say if the company cancels you, you automatically become a high risk candidate.

I haven't let that happen in many many years now.

Same here. It's like if you EVER for ANY reason dont have insurance; you pay HUGE to get back "in".

Such a rip off. I remember when I got my bike, I went to my existing insurance company where I had my car, my house and used to have insurance for my previous bije a few years back. They wanted $2200/year for a motorcycle! I have a completely clean record! They said it's because it' sbeen over 3 years without motorcycle insurance so you start from scratch. (but my impeccable "car" driving record counts for nothing of course, nor does my motorcycle safety course count for anything). So the next day, I got a much better rate elsewhere (about $700/year I think), and moved everything else with them.

You're a loyal client for years, you never had a single claim or been in an accident or had a traffic violation in the last 5 years so... they try to rob you blind when you need additional insurance! If that isn't a FTW moment, I don't know what is!

I find nothing in the Urban Dictionary for "boss, beef jerkey, leave early".
