Teacher: Brian, could you tell us what the "I before E" rule is?
Brian: um...I before E...always
Teacher: What? Are you an idiot, Brian?
Brian: Apparently!
Teacher: *sigh* No, Brian; It's "I before E" except after C, and sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh; And during weekends and holidays, and all through out May- BUT, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE WRONG, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY!
Brian: (sheesh...that's a hard rule...that's a very hard rule...)
((CAN ANYONE REMEMBER?))
