| Hollow, I'm largely disappointed in you. In the vast waistb- er, wasteland of mass media you choose to make light of this man's load. |

She had been planning on being a history teacher. Some of the other girls in the teaching program used to tease her because she had large breasts. She could never be a teacher, they said, because whenever she wrote on the blackboard, she would erase it.
Cruel girls.
Not that this ever proved true.

I'm probably terrible for saying this, but that's actually kind of funny. |
No worries. I think it's hilarious. |
I'm such a spoilsport!
SHE'D WRITE STUFF ABOVE HER BREASTS! EVEN IF THEY TOUCHED THE BOARD THIS 'D ONLY CLEAR THE SPACE BELOW WHERE SHE WAS ACTUALLY WRITING
come to think of it, she could be much more efficient than a teacher who had to erase by hand... |

I hate all fat people except Ignatius J. Reilly, who taught me that true hatred comes from a magical place deep down inside of you and a little to the right of your liver.
Also, normal people should not be allowed to teach children. Only geniuses should teach, because they would show the children how slow and incompetent they really are, quickly leading to widespread closures of public schools due to lack of attendance. Then there would be no more problem and we could all go on about our business without constantly worrying about and paying for little children, who need help opening a bottle of aspirin.

hummm.... as a maths/science teacher I would ask what is causing him to over eat?
is he being overworked? is he unhappy in other parts of his life?
perhaps the school district had a obligation to look after their employees (emotionally and physically)
surely you have to warn someone before you fire them? and if they had given him time to shape up perhaps he would have measured up?
either way what they did doesn't add up

I think the point is that as long as he is able to do his job well, and seemingly he was, that his weight shouldn't have been a factor in whether he kept his job or not. What next? They'll fire teachers they deem too ugly? Wouldn't want them scaring the children. Or maybe women who have figures that are too voluptuous should not be allowed to teach unless they have their curvy parts reduced. We wouldn't want them encouraging improper thoughts in kids when they should be learning. It should be about ability, not appearance. _________________ "Her kisses left something to be desired -- the rest of her. " |

Ignatius sure was fiery.
Fiery like nachos. |

Just proof that no matter how old you get, the world will never let you leave middle school.
I'd like to comment on the teacher with the large breasts, but I can't seem to come up with anything funny, seeing as how now I'm picturing a hot teacher with gigantic breasts rubbing up against a blackboard.
Thanks for the image though. |

Well, this isn't the best pic, and it's got a mini version of me in it... but this is her...
Remember... she's MY MOMMY and I think she is beautiful.
So don't be saying bad things.  |
