School yarns and howlers - Dickie Archer

Teacher: 'What did the Israelites do on coming out of the Red Sea?'
Boy: 'Dried themselves, sir.'

A gentleman is a man who gives up his seat to a lady in a public convenience.

School Yarns and Howlers takes you back to those happy schooldays, when headmasters wore a cap and gown, maths was learned the hard way and mischievous boys and girls got up to 'high jinks' in the classroom.

This delightful book brings together frightfully funny yarns and classic 'schoolboy errors', including everything from silly exam answers to harebrained classroom conversations, all tinged with the quaint and cheerful humour of a bygone era.
