Why did the music teacher need a ladder?

To reach the high notes.

I'm shell-shocked by how much I spent on seashells at the beach today

So I was out in the garden trying to plant some new flowers today. I accidentally dug up a whole bunch of old potatoes that had been left in the ground from last year.

I guess you could say it was a real 'spud' awakening!

I was helping our neighbor fix their fence today, nailing boards and making sure it was sturdy. It was a lot of hard work out in the sun, really building up a sweat.

But honestly, I wasn't really *board* at all.
