The secondary school principal has each teacher report class attendance over
the intercom. The instructor must state the number of students present
by gender, for example, "I have fourteen boys and thirteen girls in
attendance."
One day the principal was more than a little annoyed having to remind
several teachers of the correct procedure.
He was apparently somewhat forgetful, too, when he checked on the
girls' physical education instructor. "I have twenty-seven pupils
present, sir," she announced.
"Lady," he replied, shouting through the intercom, "I need sex!"
