Your Coat Is on Fire
« on: September 19, 2012, 01:27:16 pm »
The master, to impress on his pupils the need of thinking before speaking, told them to count fifty before saying anything important, and one hundred if it was very important.
The next day he was speaking, standing with his back to the fire, when he noticed several lips moving rapidly. Suddenly the whole class shouted: Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, a hundred. Your coat is on fire, sir!

Ain't it the truth! My husband had chided me about raising my voice to him. So, I warned him not to back up and of course, he didn't hear me because of the more well modulated voice that he never ever listens to. Crunch!
