I have to retell this story because I just remembered it and again I chuckled... If you know what my profession is - there are a lot of opportunities in the day for funny things to happen. As a classroom teacher lots of funny things happen and mostly you forget them - but this is a good one. In one of my classes (with seniors) we are completing a unit on 'the world of work' - exciting stuff in itself. To jazz things we up we have been playing celebrity head style games - with the difference being that you have to try and 'guess' what job you are by asking a series of questions and getting responses. ( there are some guide questions that they can refer to) They have all been loving it. One job guessing game went something like this.
Student : Do I work in the daytime?
Class : Yes
Student : Is my job glamorous?
Class : Not really
Student : DO I get payed well
Class : No
Student. I know I know,Miss I know....am I a........
SCARECROW??????
( this was said with all seriousness, as the student has some 'special needs')
Teacher : No, you are NOT a scarecrow, because it is not a job!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO i laugh every time i hear this story.............
On behalf of the Scarecrow Workers Union - we would like to state that we have taken great offense at the assertion that our work is not adequate to be described as a 'profession'.
Spend a day out in the field and see what you think after that!
OMGawd Farva...that is funny.
I am still trying to work out why Scarecrow was so front-of-mind ???
The fact that the Scarecrow from the "Wizard of Oz" didn't have a brain is somehow appropriate.
