CORDLESS, CLUELESS PHONE

High-school hijinks mount to a fever pitch that last week of school. Today, some naughty sophomore tossed a large cup of water off the senior balcony onto kids below.

It didn’t take long for the powers that be to figure out who the perp was -- mainly because they saw him do it, but he ran away. They found out his next class was biology.

At our school, instead of using intercoms, there are phones in the classrooms so the office can contact teachers immediately.

The phone in biology rang. The unsuspecting teacher picked it up. There was nobody there. “Hello? Hello? Hello!” She frowned, and hung up in a huff.

That’s when she saw that the cord was missing, so the phone wasn’t connected.

The class burst out laughing. Apparently, every time the kids know somebody is going to call that classroom for whatever the reason, they hide the cord.

“Very funny, guys,” said the teacher. She sent him to the office. It must have taken all her restraint not to lead him there by the ear.

Prayer request: Our good friend Steve Alberg, who survived an aortic aneurysm late last year, has to have some important tests this week. We pray for accurate, helpful results and an excellent outcome. (Psalm 33:4)
