“Too Particular” is my favorite – and I’m fairly certain we won’t see “Appreciative” reprinted any time soon.

At a teachers’ conference one of the school principals rose to propose the toast: “Long live the teachers.”

My fave is the washing the face one.

Oh, and the ‘he’s my husband’ one. (So were these ways to get little lessons in, perhaps?)
