Just for Fun

When we got back from our extended trip, most of the people at school were great. they realised that there was not much that anyone could have done. There is always one, though. One of the senior management team (who doesn't do very much anyway!) moaned to a few people that we were all very irresponsible, we knew the storm was coming and should have got an earlier flight. She obviously hasn't put much brain power into this idea, as
1. the storm was predicted for saturday night, we were flying on sunday night.
2. ours was the only flight in the evening cancelled - it was the earlier morning flights that were most affected.

We tend to not pay too much attention to this person's opinion most of the time anyway, but there was an even better gem from her later on. She decided that the only responsible person among us was Ben, as he had come home early.

Ben did not go on the trip. His girlfriend hates the cold and he couldn't afford it anyway.

Nobody has corrected her yet, we think it is quite funny and are letting Ben bask in the glory of being so "responsible"!

This one made me laugh too though. At school the other day, one of the caretakers was welding. He had no facial protection on, and people around warned him to be careful. He told them he would be fine, as he is Japanese and therefore has small eyes!
