Who is the sleepiest in class?
Mr Wang walks into his class one afternoon only to find that most of his students look tired and sleepy. He quickly takes out a handful of candy from his bag and announces to the whole class: ‘I will give the candy to the sleepiest student’.
Suddenly everyone is wide awake and raises their hand: ‘Me, me, Mr Wang. I am the sleepiest in class’.
Another student stands up and says: ‘It’s got to be me. I stayed up late to finish my homework last night. I am the sleepiest!!’
Another student: ‘Everyone calls me Mr Sleepy so I am the sleepiest. Give me the candy, Mr Wang’.
Mr Wang notices that one little boy sitting at the back does not raise his hand so he asks: ‘Zhang Wei, why don’t you raise your hand?’
Zhang Wei yawns and says: ‘I am too sleepy to raise my hand!!’
Mr Wang smiles and gives the candy to him.
Teacher Kim, You have changed a lot!

Youngchul: You are Mrs Kim Jihyun, right?
Woman: No, I’m Lee Younghee.

It’s the same dog, Ma’am!
Teacher: Bobi, your story “My Dog” is exactly the same as Tedi’s. Did you copy his story?
Bobi: No, Ma’am, I didn’t. Well, what happened was that Tedi and I wrote about the same dog.
Teacher: But your story should be different from his.
Bobi: I don’t understand, Ma’am. Are you suggesting that in his story the dog has one tail? And in mine it has two tails? That would not be right, would it?
Teacher: Oh, get out of here, Bobi!! (Smiling)

Lift or Elevator?
A business executive from America is in London. In an office building he is pressing the elevator button, as he is late for his 10 am meeting.
The British security guard: “Can I help you, Sir?”
The American: “Your damn elevators are slow!”
The British security guard: “Oh really, Sir. Well, it is a busy day today. The lift will be here shortly.”
The American (getting impatient): “Elevator, not lift!!. I’m from America, and we invented the damn thing – it’s called an ELEVATOR.”
The British security guard (smiling): “Very true, sir. However, we invented the language and here we call the darn thing a LIFT.”
