If you had duct tape, a tree, allergy medicine and a penny, how would you save the world from a giant-monster-like-thing trying to eat it? [you must use all the items] finding the penny would bring me good luck, i'd drink the allergy medicine thus transforming me into eight times my current size. using the duct tape i would tape the tree to my foot and deliver a hefty kick to this giant-monster-like-thing's nether region thus saving the world from an untimely ingestion.

Make us laugh: my old biology teacher, dr. bunce had a meeting with the principal of our school mr. toze. in this meeting dr. bunce was told that his services would no longer be required at the school and his contract was to be terminated at the end of the school year, due to his obvious failings as a teacher. so, dr. bunce trots off, fairly pissed off that this young upstart had given him his marching ordersafter 25 years service to the school. mr, toze then has meeting with the board of driectors not a two hours after his meeting with our dr. bunce. in this meeting mr. toze is told he must resign as the board is aware of his affair, and subsequent illegitemat child, with his p.a.
the next day mr. toze is gone and no-one is any the wiser of dr. bunce's dismissal. he doesn't tell anyone. he's still working there. and we're still failing our tests.
