I do system support in a law firm. The other day I had to log a 
user off and then back on. I entered her initials and then she 
just gave me her password (Rule No. 1 broken). Her password 
is genius. After three tries and the system telling me "access 
denied," I asked her how to spell it. She said, 
"G - E - N - I - O - U - S." There's one in every crowd. 

During a committee meeting at our college we were discussing 
how best to teach technology since it changed so fast. I made 
the statement that when teaching technology, most teachers 
were "flying by the seat of their pants." A few days later in a 
faculty retreat, a teacher from our committee told the members 
of the retreat that she liked my description of how we were trying 
to teach technology. She is, however, from eastern 
Europe and still struggles with American idioms. As she gave 
me credit for the quote, she said, "Most teachers are teaching 
by the fly of their pants!"

When just about everyone had boarded the plane, the flight 
attendant made a brief announcement. She said,"to the 
gentleman in seat 18F don't worry about your bag, you will get 
it back just as soon as we are done going through it."
