Wee Murray

Post by redbike »

Lesson in Glasgow School: The scene is Bishoploch Primary School, Glasgow

Teacher: 'Good morning children, today is Thursday, so we're going to have a general knowledge quiz. The pupil who gets the answer right can have Friday and Monday off and not come back to school until Tuesday.'

Wee Murray thinks, 'Ya beauty! I'm pure dead brilliant at general knowledge so I am. This is gonny be a doddle!

Teacher: ' Right class, who can tell me who said. ' Don't ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country? ' Wee Murray shoots up his hand, waving furiously in the air. Teacher looking round picks Farqhuar Fauntleroy at the front. 'Yes, Farqhuar? '
Farqhuar (in a home counties English accent): ' Yes miss, the answer is J F Kennedy - inauguration speech 1960.'

Teacher: 'Very good Farqhuar. You may stay off Friday and Monday and we will see you back in class on Tuesday.'

The next Thursday comes around, and Wee Murray is even more determined.

Teacher: 'Who said, 'we will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the air, we will fight them at sea. But we will never surrender?'

Wee Murray's hand shoots up, arm stiff as a board, shouting 'I know. I know. Me Miss, me Miss' Teacher looking round and picks Tarquin Smythe, sitting at the front: 'Yes Tarquin.'

Tarquin (In a very posh accent): 'Yes miss, the answer is Winston Churchill, 1941 Battle of Britain speech.'

Teacher: 'Very good Tarquin, you may stay off Friday and Monday and come back to class on Tuesday.'

The following Thursday comes around and Wee Murray is hyper, he's been studying encyclopedias all week and he's ready for anything that comes. He's coiled in his wee chair, dribbling in anticipation.

Teacher: 'Who said 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind?'

Wee Murray's arm shoots straight in the air, he's standing on his seat, jumping up and down screaming 'Me miss. Me miss. I know, I know. Me Miss, me miss, meeeeee '

Teacher looking round the class picks Rupert, sitting at the front: "Yes Rupert.'

Rupert (In a frightfully, frightfully, ever so plummy English accent):

'Yes miss, that was Neil Armstrong, 1967, the first moon landing.'

Teacher: 'Very good Rupert. You may stay off Friday and Monday and come back into class on Tuesday.'

Wee Murray comes completely unglued, tips his desk and throws his wee chair at the wall. He screams: 'WHERE THE F@&K DID ALL THESE ENGLISH B@ST@RDS COME FROM?'

Teacher spins back round from the blackboard and shouts: 'Who said that?'

Wee Murray call out: Bonnie Prince Charlie - Battle of Culloden 1746 - see ya Tuesday.
