  Teacher: `What did the Israelites do on coming out of the Red Sea?'
  Boy: `Dried themselves, sir.'
  
  A gentleman is a man who gives up his seat to a lady in a public convenience.

  School Yarns and Howlers takes you back to those happy schooldays, when headmasters wore a cap and gown, maths was learned the hard way and mischievous boys and girls got up to `high jinks' in the classroom.
  
  This delightful book brings together frightfully funny yarns and classic `schoolboy errors', including everything from silly exam answers to harebrained classroom conversations, all tinged with the quaint and cheerful humour of a bygone era.
