Count Slow and Loud to Fifty

Count Slow and Loud to Fifty

The teacher walked into the classroom to find words like "cunt" and "cock" 

scrawled all over the blackboard. "Children," she said, addressing the 

classroom, "you are much too young to use vile language like that. Now 

we're all going to close our eyes and count up to fifty. Then, while our 

eyes are closed, I want the little boy or girl who wrote those words on 

the board to tiptoe up and erase them." At the signal, the teacher and the 

children all closed their eyes. Then the teacher counted out loud, very 

slowly. When she reached fifty, she said, "All right. Everybody open their 

eyes." All eyes went to the blackboard. None of the words were erased. But 

below them was the message: "Fuck you, teacher! The Phantom strikes 

again!"
