A teacher had been after her pupils to bring in their 2 dollars for the class picture.

Upset over the tardiness, one day she got up in front of the class and said, "Class, think how much you're going to treasure this picture 25 years from now. You will pull it out and say, 'There's my friend, Julie. She's a lawyer now. There's my friend Robert. He's a Doctor.'"

Then a voice from the back of the room interrupted, "And there's my teacher... She's dead."
