Story of the Day 8/18/2011 #2

“Nature abhors a vacuum.”
Not only was this written by a nice Jewish boy, (even though, during his lifetime, he was excommunicated,) it has many ramifications in our day-to-day lives. Maybe not in yours, but definitely in ours. Ours being mine and Sarah’s.

When Sarah’s high school finally hired a good interpreter, it left a hole- a big gaping hole, which had previously been filled by the numerous absurdities, many of them rude, which were “taught” to her by a succession of really lousy interpreters.

In order to fill this hole, nature used the hand of BH (see the 8/17 story) to substitute for the hand of God, which would have been infinitely more benevolent and has provided Sarah with a new source of outstanding educational moments.

Today Sarah was taught, “They have done cybersex and graphing goose,” which might have been a very appropriate topic in a different class. I didn’t know you could graph a goose. Oh and she was also taught, “ha ha ahead high popup” and “Hamas dakiurius money money landed in Detroit but fell down.”

I told Sarah I was glad she was so entertained during class, but that I would actually prefer that she use her memorization skills for the actual lecture information- assuming she got it, since, obviously, at that moment she was watching the speech-to-text.

I wonder if she will get an A if she puts these down as answers on the next quiz?
