Behind Enemy Lines
So I've been subbing for about two years before I had the realization of exactly what was at my fingertips. The teachers' desk! How many years in grade school did you wonder exactly what were in those green metal drawers? Could it be gold, jewels, or perhaps the Lost Dagger of Amon-Ra? I had this revelation yesterday when I was absent-mindedly playing with the teacher's EZ Grader. You know, that thing that you get to slide and tells you what your percentage would be if you missed 34 questions on a 97 question test (107% w/ extra credit, yeah, I'm awesome). A few things that I have noticed:
- All female teachers carry lotion and chapstick to moisturize their skin for the next year, should that industry go bankrupt overnight. Men usually have just as much pocket change to tide themselves over.
-Stressed out teachers carry asprin, other teachers carry blowguns and tranquilizer darts.
-8 out of 10 teachers have candy in their desks.
-Interestingly enough, every teacher has notes from other teacher that they secretly pass to other teachers during "teacher institute days".
-"Teacher Institute Days" are nothing more then tanning days. Believe what you like, I've seen the tanning bed fields, they're in the teachers lounge.
Anyone ever get to see in their teachers desks?

You should tell Laura Bow that you found that Dagger of Amon-Ra. She's been looking for it.
(By the way, I played through Pepper's Adventures in Time the other night. I remembered some of the puzzles, sadly enough. Especially the one where you used the tomato on yourself to make Ben Franklin's daughter think you were bleeding so she'd boil some water. That was a toughie.)
True Story about The Dagger of Amon-Ra. After Laura Bow's sloppy work at The Museum, and driving her father to madness, the Dagger was again lost from 1992-1998. It was in '98 that some esentric bizillionaire discovered the dagger and hit it in a far off cave/lair. The more established and "well rounded" Laura, after a series of ridiculously complicated puzzels, reobtained the dagger and added it into her own personal collection. There it laid until late '04 when aliens stole it for it's magical powers which they could use to take over the Earth. And THAT is how it wound up in the teacher's desk.
Very interesting observation on what you found in teachers' drawers. I'll have to think of something good to leave in my drawer for my next sub to find...
