Funniest Student Story: "My student teacher had never opened a can of biscuits. He was making pizzas with my students and began using the can opener to open them. The pressure forced the biscuits to ooze out and they kept coming and coming. We quickly taught him to use the peel and release method. Secondly, we failed to tell him that Hungry Jack biscuits are in many layers. He proceeded to peel off these extremely thin layers of biscuits to make his pizzas &endash; OH DEAR!"
