<p>She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home.</p>
<p>She read. &#8216;And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: &#8216;Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?&#8217;</p>
<p>The teacher paused then asked the class: &#8216;And what do you think the man said?&#8217;</p>
<p>One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8216;I think the man would have said &#8211; &#8216;Well, I&#8217;ll be damned!! A talking pig!&#8217;</p>
<p>The teacher had to leave the room.</p>

<p>This one required much more effort than the Joke I sent out to staff at my school via email:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Hi all,<br />
Have been asked by IT to ensure all computers are thoroughly cleaned before  the end of term, by clicking on the following link:<br />
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/2pzegg" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/2pzegg</a><br />
Please do as soon as possible, only takes a few minutes and runs automatically.</p></blockquote>

<p>At least a number of staff found it amusing, while some thought it was serious and asked how long it had to run for.</p>

&#8220;Perhaps we were being a little hasty in leaving,&#8221; I thought.<br />
Then with a big smile, the man extended his hand to one of my friends and said, &#8220;Hello. Remember me? You were my third grade teacher.&#8221;</p>
