Random Thoughts the Third

Attendance call on the first day back at school in Michigan .
The teacher began calling out the names of the pupils:

"Mustafa Al Eih Zeri?" "Here."
"Achmed El Kabul?" "Here."
"Fatima Al Hayek? "Here."
"Ali Abdul Olmi?" "Here."
"Mohammed Bin Kadir?" "Here."
"Ali Son al Len" Silence in the classroom.

"Ali Son al Len" Continued silence as everyone looked around the room.
She repeated, "Is this the name of any child here?"

A girl stood and said, "I think that's me, Miss.
It's pronounced Alison Allen"

Still have three of the four. Top left was taken out about 10 years ago with absolutely no problem. It had come in and was actually further out than the rest of my teeth. Bottom left is about normal and the right-side ones never broke through. I'm 53, btw.

 

Did you discover this thread today, old_tony?

Holy crap! That still exists? I must go log on to mine now!

Is WebCrawler still active? LOL

 

I am a great admirer of Napoleon
Napoleon not only led his army, he built his army.

 

This clown is terrorizing the town.
