It's murder for the money

Today I was teaching my students about unemployment, specifically seasonal unemployment.

"Santa's unemployed. He only works around Christmas. I wish I had that job." I said.

"Ms. Salty, but what about the elves?" asked a precocious 8th grader.

"Oh, yeah, the elves-- I always forget about the little people!" I responded, then slapped my knee. "GET IT??"

Seriously, I used to be funny.
