Economic History Puns

I am a teacher, I teach history first semester and economics second semester.

Me: graphs is where you draw the line huh?

And every year on May the 5th they would celebrate...

"Sinko de Mayo."

Only a slow clap from a couple kids while he wore a beaming smile, proud of his daily dad joke.
