Humor is the Best Medicine

So a principal walks into a teacher's office and hands her a book. Teacher looks at principal quizzically and asks, "What is this for?" Principal replies, "Just thought you might need a little sanity." Teacher looks at the title, "Under the Covers and Between the Sheets: The inside story behind classic characters, authors, unforgettable phrases, and unexpected endings" and thinks, yes, this might be just what the doctor ordered. Teacher then opens to random page and reads, "Mark Twain wasn't a lover of all literature: He once wrote of Jane Austen, 'Every time I read Pride and Predjudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull  with her own shin-bone.'" I laughed so hard one of my colleagues came running to my office to see what the noise was. Sanity indeed. And I happen to love Pride and Predjudice, but I hear ya Mark! (Cousin Kev, this one's for you!)
