Squee!
Today is HUBS' birthday (he's 38), and to celebrate this occasion on my blog I decided to relay some stories as written by HUBS in an email he sent yesterday (he's 38). So, here goes...
Hi, folks.
As a school computer technician, I get to overhear some pretty hilarious stuff while working. Such as (quoted from memory) the following.
Years ago, at a Jefferson City elementary school...
Third-grader: "Ms. Gutierrez?"
Ms. Gutierrez, warily: "Yes, Billy?"
Third-grader: "You know why Santa's nose is red?"
Ms. Gutierrez, still wary: "Why, Billy?"
Third-grader, matter-of-factly: "Capillaries."

Today, at a St. Louis County high school...
White student: "I want to understand this whole 'rap' thing."
Black student: "That would take weeks."
......................................................
Later today, at the same school, with the same students...
White student: "Rap doesn't seem to have much of a message."
Black student: "[Something about Grandmaster Flash, and then...] The old-school rappers had messages."
White student: "Yeah, but now, it's just about their own lives. 'My girl cheated on me,' 'my life is tough,' stuff like that."
[Pause]
White student: "So it's sorta like country now, really."
[Longer pause]
Black student: "Don't you ever say that again."

Recently, at the same St. Louis County high school...
Student 1: "Hey, do you guys remember that boy that swam in the football field when it flooded last year?"
Student 2: "Yeah, I bet he got salmonella."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBS (he's 38)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
