Dave, thank you for posting this video. I'd have never seen it otherwise. It is really hilarious.
Reminds me of something we used to do in my grammar school days. I'd imagine all kids do this, not just where I live. When our regular school teacher was absent, we would have a "substitute teacher" who had to establish which students were in attendance. They'd pass around a "seating chart" and ask each student to fill in his/her name in the appropriate spot.
The finished product would have the predictable double-entre names; the teachers would usually recognise those. But typically, one of the boys would write his name as "Keith Richards" or something like that. Most teachers didn't pick up on that, and they'd refer to the boy in question as Keith Richards, like that was his real name. "The square root of four...who knows the answer? You over there...Keith...Keith Richards...do you know the answer?" And there'd be this outburst of giggling...when you're 8 years old, this is funny.
I think that Fridge Raiders commercial has me thinking about school days.
Cheers,
Donna
