School and jokes


This is a picture of two of my school friends, Ania (on the left) and Katia. They are both very fun to be around, and they've helped me a lot during my long school years... =)





And these are some of the typical school jokes that I came across on the web :

Is there another word for synonym?
Shouldn’t there be a shorter word for monosyllabic?
Why isn’t phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Why is the word abbreviation so long?
If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?
Why is it called a building when it is already built?
Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why do the signs that say “Slow Children” have a picture of a running child?
If vegetable oil comes from vegetables, where does baby oil come from?
What do they call a coffee break at the Lipton Tea Company?
Why is it called a TV set when you only get one?
Why is it that when you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment , but when you transport something by ship, it’s called cargo?

PS. My favourite is about congress... No offense, just sounds really funny =)
