From a comedy clip

Teacher- Brian, what is the I before E rule

Brian- I before E.............................always...

Teacher- no, no, no, what are you stupid?
              the rule is:

I before E except after C
and when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh
and weekends and holidays and all through out May
cause you'll always be wrong no matter what you say!!!

Brian- whatever you say.

Teacher- how do you make a word plural?

Brian- um..............................um.............add an S

Teacher- ugh, no brian, Iwrin, wat is the plural for Ox

Irwin- OXEN, the Farmer used his oxen.

LOL ;D

Sounds like my Geometry teacher, Mr. Smith, a big black guy who is incredibly intelligent and speaks and acts like he's straight out of the ghetto.  God I'm going to miss his class sorely next year....
