Funniest dentist-related video I've ever seen... my favourite part is, "Is this gonna be for ever???"

Why am I posting this? Well, one of my Yr 13s mentioned it this morning. We were discussing 'Long Day's Journey Into Night', a VERY good but VERY depressing play by an American guy called Eugene O'Neill. One of the characters (Mary) is addicted to a drug called morphine and spends most of the play being completely spaced out... and apparently this reminded my student of young David here.

Why is she spaced out? (Not the obvious answer - because she's on drugs - but more pertinently, why does O'Neill do this?) She is escaping from her reality. Her family love her but their love is not sufficient. She lives in a world she cannot control and she, and the rest of her family, seem to have no choice but to drown themselves in their own misery.

And if, after reading all that, you're completely depressed, then here is a joke to cheer you up.

Q: How many RS teachers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One... and yet three.

Comment if you know why that's (allegedly) funny.
