This reminds us that Seattle Public Schools had sent around a press release recently mentioning that just-retired assistant principal Nels Enquist from Chief Sealth HS will be honored as a “Distinguished Principal” at next month’s Association of Washington School Principals conference. But CSHS might want to add a letter or two to this tribute spotted on the school’s marquee this morning:
If he can stand to be the butt of a joke, he must be a pretty good principal.
Brevity is the soul of wit! I hate to throw the quote around, but the headline screamed it.
Were George and Harold in charge of the readerboard? (nod to Capt. Underpants)
In the late 1970s, I worked in the production shop of Robinson Newspapers and came across a press release from a school about one of its evening classes that was to be held twice a week. I don’t remember if I stupidly called it to the attention of Tom R., the shop manager, or if a proofreader caught the typo before it went to press, but I regret every so often that it did not get published as submitted: “hell twice a week.”
I always wanted a distinguished ass, but all I got was a prominent butt.
How could I possibly have missed that sign when I entered the building Tuesday afternoon to tutor? Tutor in what you might wonder? Writing and English, would ya’ believe?
Funny. Too, too funny.
I believe that at some point today it changed to Asst. Principal. Too funny.
thanks for the update … we didn’t get a chance today to go by and look … but we did e-mail the Chief Sealth principal as soon as we got the pic and posted this yesterday, to make sure he knew, in case nobody else had reported it.
The owner of the photo should send it to Jay Leno for his headlines piece.
Sorry, comment time is over.
