One day the teacher challenges the class to construct a sentence with the word 'contagious' in it.
Little Mary was the first to raise her hand. 'Yes Mary?' Asks the teacher. 'My little brother had the measles and my Mam said to beware, as they are contagious.' 'Well done' says Teacher.
At the back of the class was Jimmy, picking his nose and flicking the snot at Mary. 'Come on Jimmy,' says Teacher, 'Can you think of a sentence with the word contagious in it?'
Jimmy thinks for a short while, and jumps up enthusiastically, 'Miss, Miss, my next door neighbour was painting his fence with a paintbrush and my Dad said It's going to take that contagious.'
