FASCINATE

Recess is over and the class is about to study English and Grammar. The teacher asks if anyone can use the word FASCINATE in a sentence. Little Johnny in the back row immediately raises his hand. The teacher, however, has been blind-sided by Johnny too many times before, and refuses to call on him. Finally, a little girl in the front raised her hand and said, "My Daddy took me to the zoo last Sunday to see all the fascinating animals." The teacher replied, "That's a variation of the word fascinate but it's not the word itself. Can anyone else use fascinate in a sentence?" A little boy said, "I watched a show about spaceships last night and I was fascinated." The teacher replied, " Well, again, that's a version of the word fascinate but not the actual word. Isn't there anyone who can use fascinate in a sentence?" No one answered but Little Johnny was eagerly holding his hand up.
The teacher had no choice but to call on him.

"Yes, Johnny, can you use the word fascinate in a sentence?" she asked. "Yes, teacher! My Aunt Betty got a new sweater for her birthday. It's got ten buttons on it but her boobs are so big she can only fasten eight!"

The teacher fainted.
