Exercise ball

Jim has a couple of special needs students in his class this year. They have an aide that works with them all day and does a good job. But she recently bought an exercise ball for them to sit on. It's about to drive Jim nuts because they sit on it and constantly bounce, bounce, bouncy, bounce, bounce, bounce. haha He hates that. I know it must really bother him. If I'm sitting in my chair here at home and start rocking back and forth, he can't stand it. Or when i cross my legs and swing the one on top back and forth like I do quite frequently, it drives him crazy. It kind of strikes me funny that he has such a low tolerance for this type of thing.

Well, a couple years ago I posted a video on my blog that I thought was so funny. Now, after hearing Jim complain about these kids that bounce bounce bounce on that ball all day long, the video clip is even MORE funny to me. Take a look. Apparently, MY Jim isn't the only JIM that has a problem with the bounce bounce bouncy ball. :) Click on the link below and then scroll down a bit to view the video clip from "The Office."

Hope you had a good laugh like I did today. Sometimes Jim just does not really appreciate my humor all that much.

It really is NOT funny, but I got a good laugh out of the video. I really wanted to jab that stupid bouncy ball with a pen today. It is sooooo annoying. They say it helps the kids to focus better..... It just drives me NUTS!

Never heard of this show, should I have?

How much does it cost?

25 bucks.

ok. (grab the scissors...walk around desk and stab the ball)

I love it. I would drive me crazy too.

So funny! I've never seen the show but that was pretty darn funny. For most teachers isnt it the scraping of your nails on the blackboard? Who would of thought? I guess we better take back the excercise ball we got my Dad for his birthday. :)

That made me laugh out loud. haha! The funniest part was him falling on the floor after the guy popped it--it's that sick sense of humor on the Gaines side!
