Well, back home, there was two school districts; L***** Independent School District and United Independent School District. I used to go to LISD.
Well, LISD was an innocent little place, the only profanity I knew at that time was "damn" and well, yea I was innocent. I went to LISD all the way to about mid-7th grade before I had to relocate to UISD ending 7th beginning 8th.
Now, moving to a new school, no friends, no sense of how this school system works. I had no trouble standing out. Especially being so 'damn' innocent. It was known pretty quickly I didn't have an intensive sailor's tongue.
Which brings up the actually story. I remember I had this class, where their was a police officer of some sort come in and talk to us for a month or so. He'd show us the usual of reports, the evil ways of drugs and alcohol, and effects. But one the first day he came to speak, when he was leaving, he told us he liked humor, so that we should each write a joke for him for the next time he came.
Well, sure enough I was a good little pupil, doing my work, I started writing all these jokes in a extra spiral I had. So, every time he came around and (a lot) of people didn't have jokes, they went to me to get one or two. Well, he never called on me throughout the time he was there.
On his last day of speaking at our school, he told us he heard some great jokes and was very happy to speak at the school. He told us humor is a good trait in a person and that if you know someone who can get a laugh from someone without the expense of another, thats the kind of person you want to be around with.
His speech went on for another 15 mins before his ending remarks were... "Remember, humor is a great trait. But, your jokes have to be clean." When I got home, after my homework and such, I spent the remainder of the day looking over my spiral pages, making sure there were no stains so the jokes were clean...
I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
