It was a rhyme to learn Mississippi and then they added Londonderry at the end

Can’t believe I’m the only one to hear of this

Never heard the Londonderry bit. In related news:

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves and engage
in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their
conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears
one of the men say the following;

"Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, dey come together. I come
again. Two asses, dey come together again. I come again and pee twice.
Den I come once-a-more."

"You foul-mouthed swine" retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country
we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"

"Hey, coola down lady" said the man. "Imma just tellun my friend howa to
spella Mississippi."

That a monster lived in the farmers field behind the school.

I had a French teacher who told me Ireland was a third world country.

And another who swore Charless II was a devout protestant.

Fool.


bEst goes to Neo-Nazi teacher in my dads school:
His leaving cert question to the kids:

"Explain how Saddam Hussein was a CiA agent"

"It's nice that you can draw, really, but that's not really what you want to do with your life, is it?"

"It's more important for you to stick with the Irish as you're poor at it, than to learn a foreign language."

"The Inter Cert is the most important thing you will ever do."

I had an English teacher who swore blind that the word Atlantic was spelt Athlantic.

'everything you learn has so many applications in the real world':rolleyes:

Hmmm... Good point. I suppose blessing oneself is the equivalent of paging/texting/phoning God. I mean he's a busy guy. He can't just know some random person in Ireland has started praying to him at that moment... On second thoughts though, wouldn't he just know since he's all powerful and all knowing?

Unfortunately even God gets migraines and headaches, i don't suppose god likes people screaming in his ear every second of the day complaining about their lives. Plus he might not be to happy about all the sickening things that is going on in the world today and might not give a f**k about us anymore.

Anyway i was lied to by my maths teacher in Primary school when she told me you can't go past 0, i guess -1 all the way down to -100 were only invented when i got into Secondary School

I was also told never to talk to stangers, but i met my best friend by talking to a stranger

Also i was told that America was a great nation and that John F(I Hate Communism) Kennedy and Ronald(Let's put Weapons of Mass Destruction in Space) Regan were great

Where was our What Women Really Want class?

They're still working on the curriculum.

My business studies teacher told us her husband was a Garda and that all Garda's wives are given tape recorders. She told us she had this tape recorder in her bag recording us and that she was going to play it to our principal to show him our behaviour. Bear in mind that a) tape recorders could be had for a tenner in 1998 b) her husband wasn't a Garda c) we weren't six years old so that crap wasn't going to work anyway. She kept talking at the bag saying stuff like "Mr. Brown*, Derek has left his seat and is walking around the class."

I would say she lost all credibility there and then but she hadn't got any left to lose.

Funny lady.
