For This I Should Apologize?

jackiemasonYou know, I try to be entertaining when I write these posts, and then my morning paper comes along and, in its deadpan way, is funnier than I could ever be. From a Times story about a sex-ed class that provoked protests:

As a result, some of Ms. Kramer’s 30 students went home with neatly transcribed lists of off-color words for sexual acts and body parts, including two Yiddishisms for the male sexual organ.

These kids are in the eighth grade, and somehow the Times turned them all into octogenarian ex-vaudeville comics. Full story here.
