Yes indeed, cmf, quite entertaining. I'm sure that sooner or later someone will compile a list of turnipisms accompanied by toddlerisms and choatleisms so that we needn't always come here for our daily laugh. I think it would work quite nicely as bathroom reading material, don't you? Why waste paper though? Just put it right there on the tp roll where it belongs. Alternating sheets for each of them. I've even thought of a title: "Incomprehensible Input - A Collection of Not So Witty Witticisms by Pretend EFL Teachers in Asia." But please, cmf, don't insult John Cleese by suggesting that he could be scripting for these guys - he'd never stoop that low.

Enjoy the sunny days of South France, Fred.
