The teacher asks the class to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.

Molly raises her hand and says, "My family went to my granddad's farm, and we saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."

The teacher says, "That's good, but I want you to use the word 'fascinate,' not 'fascinating'."

Sally raises her hand. She says, "My family went to see Rock City and I was fascinated."

The teacher says, "That was good Sally, but I want you to use the word 'fascinate'."

Little Johnny raises his hand, but the teacher hesitates, because she's had problems with Little Johnny before. She finally decides there's no way he can mess with the word "fascinate," so she calls on him.

Johnny says, "My aunt Carolyn has a sweater with ten buttons, but her boobs are so big she can only fasten eight!"

The teacher sits down and cries.
