Voi luoja minkä vanhan englannin monisteen löysinkään noista hyllyistä, kun niistä heitin tavaraa taas nopeaan pois. Muistan tämän. Oli silloin ehkä paras ikinä.
A school superintendent told his assistant superintendent the following:
"Next Thursday at 10.30 a.m. Halley´s Comet will appear over this area. This is an event which occurs only once every 76 years. Call the school principals and have them assemble their teachers and classes on their athletic fields and explain this phenomenon to them. If it rains, then cancel the day´s observation and have the classis meet in the autitorium to see a film about the comet."
Assistant superintendent to school principals:
"By order of the Superintendent of Schools, next Thursday at 10.30, Halley´s Comet will appear over your athletic field. If it rains, then cancel the day´s classes and report to the auditorium with your teachers and students where you will be shown filmis, a phenomenal event which occurs only once every 76 years."
Principals to teachers:
"By order of the phenomenal Superintendent of Schools, at 10.30 next Thursday, Halley´s Comet will appear in the auditorium. In case of rain over the athletic field the Superintendent will give another order, something which occurs once every 76 years."
Teachers to students:
"Next Thursday at 10.30, the Superintendent of Schools will appear in our school auditorium with Halley´s Comet, something which occurs every 76 years. If it rains the Superintendent will cancel the Comet and order us all out to our phenomenal athletic field."
Students to parents:
"When it rains next Thursday at 10.30 over the school athletic field, the phenomenal 76-year-old Superintendent of Schools will cancel all classes and appear before the whole school in the auditorium accompanied by Bill Halley and the Comets."
