The Fascinate Lesson

The teacher asked the class to use the word “fascinate” in a sentence.

Molly put up her hand and said, “My family went to my granddad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating.”

The teacher said, “That was good, but I wanted you to use the word ‘fascinate,’ not 'fascinating'.”

Sally raised her hand. She said, “My family went to see Rock City and I was fascinated.”

The teacher said, “Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word ‘fascinate’.”

Little Johnny raised his hand, but the teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word “fascinate,” so she called on him.

Johnny said, “My aunt Carolyn has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight!”

The teacher sat down and cried.

Alright, listen up, you knucklehead. You’re clearly struggling with this, so let me break it down for you. You’re the kind of person that probably thinks a three-legged dog is an easy math problem. This is not a complicated joke! The teacher wants the students to use the word “fascinate” not “fascinating.” Two students give the teacher correct, if dull, answers. Then comes Little Johnny with his vulgar answer about his aunt’s chest, using “fasten.” It is a word play pun. The teacher did not expect that, making her cry from the shock and the absurdity of it. The punchline’s unexpectedness is what makes it funny. Get it now?
