Lisa and Sue revisit the moments that made them laugh so hard they couldn’t recover—possibly not even with a bathroom break in time. This “best of” episode pulls from some of their earliest podcasts, including classroom life gems like the great fish tank debacle (apparently, electricity is optional, but fish are not).

They relive an end-of-year cleaning disaster involving a rag bag and an unexpected pair of granny panties, a typing lesson that took a turn when a student casually mentioned he was missing two fingers, and the unforgettable crisis of a plastic Lysol container stuck on a child’s finger.

There are the snack rebellions—black olives worn proudly on fingers until they were banned, then rolled down desks in quiet protest, and string cheese painstakingly shredded into a pile because using hands was apparently too mainstream.

And, of course, the legends: the substitute who played a “nose flute,” biked through anything short of a natural disaster, and once simply… didn’t come back from lunch; the entirely fabricated ghost of Rachel Underwood; and a prank involving a maxi pad that probably shouldn’t have been as funny as it was.

Because sometimes the only way to survive teaching… is to laugh at the parts no one would ever believe anyway.
