Yikes. I'd hate to see the props they use in sex education classes down there...

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

OMG-Holiday Park used to be a nice place. I saw Chris Evert and Jimmy Conners play tennis there once.

[fivver]

Messenger said. "I mean ... what are the odds..."

In Florida I'd say pretty damn good.

[mudstuffin]

I found an old geezer
in the park last night
it seems that he'd been dead
for quite a while
he wore a butler outfit
that exposed his rear
pushing daisys after all these years
oh, pushing daisys after all these years

Im not the kind of man
Who tends to hang with flies
but this old man
had seen better days
And I aint no fan of stinkin
That chomes me and brings tears
pushing daisys after all these years
oh, pushing daisys after all these years

bing-bing-bing

Geezer (with kids) warning!

"WE never had field trips like this at my old school!"

....thank God!

ew, ew, ewwww!

[mudstuffin]

"chokes" me. duh

[Annie Where-but-here]

reminds me of a drug-awareness class in high school. Local cops handed around a display case of what different drugs looked like, so we kiddies would be aware. When they got it back, it had one EXTRA joint.

ick

[Annie Where-but-here]

ick bin ein dead.

[Jeff Meyerson]

I hope Miss Messenger was fired for praying in class.

:)

[Annie Where-but-here]

Jeff - you know they should never shoot the Messenger.

[Meanie the Blue]

"She said she had hoped for good weather but never imagined her students would find a real body"

Cloudy with a chance of cadavers.....

[24-aholic]

~snork~ at Jeff - fired from a Catholic school for praying

~snork~

[ObeeKris]

I think the coolest thing about this is the fact that they've got a summer school class for forensics. None of the schools I ever went to had anything like that. Heck, with classes like that, I would have been glad to go to summer school.

[Annie Where-but-here]

*snork* @ meanie

[DimWitte]

Jeff,

Judging from the name of the school (St. Thomas Aquinas), I'm guessing it's parochial, and thus both God and prayer are allowed during school activities.

[Olo Baggins of Bywater]

Did they check Messenger's husband or some such is missing? I mean, what a perfect way to make sure the kids messed up the crime scene.

**been watching too much CSI**

[Olo Baggins of Bywater]

Yikes, my grammer got up and done left me.

[ObeeKris]

my grammer got up and done left me:
GNFA Country song?

[queensbee]

well, they were praying for his immortal soul, which is really none o their business, but so what, and mud, that was hi-larious.

[hd4mtns]

Wow - what a realistic and "life-like" field trip ....or maybe not.

[Cheesewiz]

Maybe Ms. Messenger disposed of her secret lover and is cleverly diverting attention away from her murderous ways?

Or maybe it's just another Florida field trip. There weren't any pythons were there?

[Carl Turner]

Dave, how can you keep from writing columns when you have this kind of material handed to you?

[Prairie Dog]

Next day:

Well class I've decided instead of looking for crime victims we will be looking for the loot from the scene of the crime. I have hidden some fake money in an abandoned field...

[Prairie Dog]

Ya know, it occurs to me that this how Pinocchio started. Maybe the Blue Fairy used a little too much juice.

[marfie]

Well, THAT would make for a fun family dinner conversation: "How was summer school today, Dear?"

[columbo]

Student body?

[Sondra]

``Maybe it will inspire one of these students to pursue that career.''

Right. They were probably taking this class in summer school as part of their plan to become pastry chefs, but this could change their minds.

[Annie Where-but-here]

"Hi, kids - welcome to 'Hoffa 101'...."

[L - Sarah L that is]

Snorks all around!

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

High School seems a little early for this type of course. I guess things have changed...

[MoFaux]

I had a similar experience once.I was playing in this band of really bad, sort of fake musicians, and we found out that one of us was a real musician.What were the chances of that???

[shellann]

I'm confused - How did the teacher not notice the body when she was setting up her fake scene?

[Stupendous Man]

Where was Colonel Mustard when this went down? And a multitude of *snorks! for this wild and crazy crew!

[DaBlade]

im just happy to find the link to this story. I heard about it on the radio. I couldn't find it on Google, but had a hunch Dave would have it here!
