Grammar
Published Aug 11, 2003

Stan was having problems in English class, so his teacher decided to stop by on her way home to speak with his parents. When she rang the bell, Stan answered.
"I'd like to talk to your mother or father," she said.
"Sorry, but they ain't here."
"Stan!" she said, "what is it with your grammar?"
"Beats me," he replied, "but dad sure was mad that they had t'go bail her out again!"
