Overheard a teacher
the other day
Having coffee
Telling a friend
Gave this assignment
to my second graders
You're shipwrecked
on an island
Draw me a picture
then tell me a story
of what you would do
to save yourself
Boys: 'With my sword
I would do this
With my gun
I would do that'
Girls: 'I'd explore
Get some food and flowers
Build a house and
wait to get rescued'
Lots of men around here
Doing this and that
Lots of women too
Waiting to get rescued
Fun one. I don't think I would want to get rescued if I had a plam-tree laden island all to myself. (p.s. Sp. check failed you: You have 'Overhead', think you mean Overheard) . - chuck
Tom, this is brilliant, I am surprised others haven't discovered it to. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David

Women are more practical than men Thats why a man needs a good woman to keep his feet on the ground
