In grammar school or high school, did you ever have a "class clown"?

George Carlin's 4th comedy album was "Class Clown"


I remember in high school, we had a "comedy team" of 2 class clowns, Burton & Burns.
They cracked us up many times.
But it was a very strict Catholic school, mostly Jesuit priests & brothers, so they were careful not to crack any jokes in the classes taught by the priests or brothers.
However, one of the lay teachers, Mr. Mello, got an earful often, because he wasn't strict at all.
Example: "Mr. Mello! What a wonderful fellow!"


Did you remember having any "class clowns"?

Do you recall any jokes that one of your teachers told?

In my first semester in college, I remember the Health Education teacher once saying this:
"At 20, the most important thing to a man is a good lay.
At 40, the most important thing is a good steak.
At 60, the most important thing is a good bowl movement."

Post a true but little known fact about someone famous, living or dead -- Part 10

John Wayne credited his walk, talk, and persona to his acquaintance with Wyatt Earp.
The "Duke" had lost his football scholarship to USC after he broke his collarbone in a bodysurfing accident and had to drop out of college, because he couldn't afford the tuition.
Actor Tom Mix was USC football fan and friend of the USC football coach.
He gave John Wayne a job as an extra, and, through him, Wayne subsequently met Wyatt Earp, who was a close friend of Tom Mix.
