16 ways you know you went to a crappy public school

How many stars on the American flag? You’re guessing “a lot.”

Can dolphins communicate? You think, of course they can. They’re a footbal team, they have to communicate.

The three states of water? You guess Oregon, for sure, because it’s rainy there.

Gravity? You wonder what’s the big deal about gravity? If something is heavy, it’ll fall.

A camel can walk a long way without what? A map?

The language Shakespeare wrote in? You’re thinking French? Maybe Shakesperean.

When multiplying 6 x 7, you need a calculator. But you can’t think of any good reasons for doing this.

A rolling stone gathers no moss? Okay, but why would it want to?

People asked, where’s Alaska and you said, off the coast of California. You saw it on a map. Alaska was in a box near San Diego.

Name two oceans? 11 and 12.

Which came first, the Supremes or the Supreme Court? You’re not sure. You want to know if that’ll be on a test.

Clouds are made of what? Smoke.

How many feet in a mile? Dude, seriously, what’s the point?

You appeared on Jay Leno’s Jaywalking and couldn’t answer his dumb questions.

You can’t read your diploma.

You have really high self-esteem.

You can add these two:

1. When was the war of 1812 and who were the two warring parties.

2. What is the name of the national anthem and during what war was it written?

Note: Ask no questions about the care and sue of condoms, from the four grade up they wii get a hundred on thsoe.

Speaking of public schools.....

How Prozac turns fish into killers
Lots of kids are being fed this stuff (like the recent school shooters?).

It's not the guns, folks.

LOL - how about if your High School’s Valedictorian cannot pass the basic skills test to get her diploma?

This actually happened a year or two ago - I believe she failed it at least twice (test was based on what an average 10th grader should know).

Prozac is pretty harmless, in my experience. I haven’t anybody— not even my teenager.

FWIW my shop teacher in 9th grade ran off with a 14 year old (female, he was not really with it) student. This was 40 years ago.

I gotta admit she was pretty hot.
