Even more impressive: your teacher puts up with you. This long-suffering professional deserves a reward, and a nice, shiny apple just won't cut it. No, your teacher deserves a few good laughs.From award-winning comedy writers Gene Perret and daughter Linda Perret, these 175 original one-liners will give teachers all the laughs of a night out at a stand-up comedy club in the quiet of their own bed. (Lets face it, thats where all teachers want to be after a long day in the classroom.) Teachers Lessons Last a Lifetime (or at Least Until the Next Exam) will make teachingand consequently, learningmore fun.
