SUNDAY FUNNIES: BACK TO SCHOOL 2018

Hello Everybody! Today you have both Autumn the Puppy AND Waxy Dragon here as we present our annual salute to Back To School.

That's right Autumn. While many schools were already back in session before now, the traditional start of the school year (and when Dragon School begins) used to be the Tuesday after Labor Day, which is why we wait until the following Sunday to present this routine.

So, without further adieu...

Wait a second Autumn. I don't have it.

Have what?

The adieu. I thought you were supposed to bring the adieu.

That just means we're starting without further delay.

Oh. Then let's get on with it!

(Autumn sighs as the jokes begin...)😞

How come, whenever the teacher springs a pop quiz on the class, there's no actual soda involved?

“Not enough,” Luke replied. “They said I have to go back tomorrow.”

Why was school easier for cave people?
Because there was no history to study!📅

Why did the broom get a poor grade in school?
Because it was always sweeping during class!

Why do magicians do so well in school?
Because they’re good at trick questions.

Why was the teacher wearing sunglasses to school?
Because she had bright students!😎

AND NOW, SCHOOL BOOKS WE HAVE YET TO SEE PUBLISHED...
“The Best Subject in School” by Jim Class.
“High School Math” by Cal Q. Luss.
“When Does School Start?” by Wendy Belrings.🔔

And on that note♫, until King Arthur goes to knight school, have a great week everybody and please join one of us again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP & wd.

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here.
Ms. Waxy Dragon and I have put our heads together and decided that this month's Sunday Funnies will all be school oriented.
So class is in session today with some educational humor. Ready?

TEACHER: Johnny, how do you spell crocodile?
JOHNNY: "K-R-O-K-O-D-I-A-L."
TEACHER: That's wrong.
JOHNNY: But you asked me how I spell it.

TEACHER: What is the chemical formula for water?
STUDENT: "H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O."
TEACHER: What are you talking about?
STUDENT: Well, yesterday you said it was H to O.

TEACHER: Sarah, name one important thing we have today that we didn't ten years ago.
SARAH: Me.

TEACHER: Tommy, why do you always get so dirty during recess?
TOMMY: Because I'm closer to the ground than you are.

TEACHER: Can anyone give me a sentence starting with the word I?
STUDENT: I is...
TEACHER: No, that is not proper grammar. Say, I am.
STUDENT: Really?
TEACHER: Yes, now please continue.
STUDENT. Okay. I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.

TEACHER: Can anyone give me an example of a coincidence?
STUDENT: My mother and my father were married at the same time on the same day.

TEACHER: When George Washington admitted to his father that he chopped down the cherry tree, his father didn't punish him out of respect for George's honesty.

TEACHER: Out of curiosity, how many of you say Grace before eating?
ONE STUDENT: What does my sister have to do with it?
ANOTHER STUDENT: I don't have to. My mom's a great cook!

TEACHER: Sam, why is your report about your pet dog the same as your brother's?
