The Most Boring Teacher In The World
Randy Smith was a teacher. But Randy was no ordinary teacher, he was the most boring teacher in the world. His lessons were like watching paint dry. Students often used his lessons to catch some z’s.
One day Randy realised seven students in his class were asleep. It was the last straw. Randy hit the roof.
Randy shouted so loudly that the Headmistress ran to his classroom.
“What in heavens is going on in here Mr. Smith?”
“It’s my student's Headmistress.” said Randy. “They’ve got no respect. Look at them, seven of them are sleeping and the other five are playing with their phones.”
“So it’s really true,” said the Headmistress. “You really are the most boring teacher in the world.”
Randy was stunned into silence. In fact, the whole class was gobsmacked. The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
Many, many years later, Randy lay in his hospital bed. He told his Doctor the story about the sleeping students and his horrible Headmistress.
“I’m sorry Randy,” said the Doctor. “You’re boring me to death with this dull story, and I’m very busy. Take your pills and I’ll see you in a few hours.
