Fascinate
A grade school teacher in Kentucky asked her students to
use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.
Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my
granddad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was
fascinating."
The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to
use the word "fascinate, not fascinating".
Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see
Rock City and was fascinated."
The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted
you to use the Word "fascinate."
Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because
she had been "burned" by Little Johnny before. She finally
decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate",
so she called on him.
Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons,
but her boobs are so big she can only fasten eight."
