Good morning ya'll

As an alternative to my Good Morning pics, i've got to tell you about something that made me laugh.

So I get up and fix my bowl of pulled pork " B-B-Q" (made in the crock pot), potato salad, and a glass of iced tea and sit down at the computer to start a day of grading final exams.

Sometimes a student knows he/she knows something about the question, but is not really sure what, so he/she just starts writing.

Essay: Explain how a bill becomes a law in Texas (use only complete sentences)

Answer (I'm not going to put the whole answer here, just the fist line):
"Every oddnumbered year, they meet up on a Tuesday in January in what is called a regular session." . . . "

OK, so it's not really that funny . . . I am easily amused, which is a good thing because the grades have to be in tomorrow and I have a lot to grade.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
