George Bush visits my school!

I don't know what came over me. There it was, a sign in sheet. Waiting to be tainted by my deviant behavior. After I walked into the afternoon meeting, early of course, I signed my name and under "position" I put "teacher." In the next line, I put George Bush and under position "President." Stuff like this was common back for me in the day. I can't remember which day it was, but some time a while back I would sign a celebrity in for a meeting. I really did not try to hide it was me. If I had, I should have done a better job. Anyway, as the meeting goes forward, I somehow missed the fact or did not understand that the state education agency was going to get a copy of who showed up and signed their name for this meeting. As I was standing in the hall after the meeting, the flock of elders still inside and collecting things begin to murmur about who signed in as Bush. Because they know me, they hunted me down pretty quickly. In fact I was my department chair's first guess. And instead of getting to scratch it out, I got punished (as she laughed uncontrollably). I had to run around with a blank sheet to all corners of my massive school (big enough for 3,000 plus students) to hunt down signatures. Some of them thought I was a fool, while others cracked up hilariously. The Indian lady in TLC (kids in wheel chairs, some tube fed) really couldn't grasp why someone would do something so foolish, while the nice Spanish lady marveled in the hilarity of the situation... me misbehaving and going on a scavenger hunt for signatures. Some thought it was a political statement while it was just the first name that popped in my head. My "drinking buddy" John, acted as if I had told him the funniest joke in the bar when I needed his signature. Finally, when I got the signature from the school psychologist, who is a pretty good friend, she playfully.... well maybe a little seriously... said "Don't you feel like a fool now?" My response, with a big smartass grin on my face was. "No." In fact, I went on to tell her, it was one of the funnest things I have done in a long time. I went to places I normally don't go to and saw people I wouldn't normally see. I caused joyful laughter and even enjoyed the "you idiot" responses. I faced a side of life that I would normally avoid, seeing the kids in TLC bound to wheel chairs. Even in their almost vegetative state, those who could would gleefully wave when waved at. One kid was catatonic with a permanent smile. It must have been because he knew what I had done... yeah, its all about me isn't it. I need to go back again. I wonder what celebrity will show up at the next department meeting.
