Winners of the “185 Teachers Walk Into a Bar” Contest!

The first ever Motivational Smart Ass contest is now officially over, and we have a winner!

I want to thank everyone who participated. This being my first time trying this, I honestly had no idea how it would go. I’m excited to say that I am super happy with the participation and results!

There were 59 entries! If you missed the original post and want to read all of them, you can do so by clicking here.

Before we get to the winner, I want to give out a few…

Honorable Mentions: 

Most Groan Inducing

185 is designed to be a groan eliciting game. But a few went above and beyond:

185 Physics teachers walk into a bar

The bartender says, we don’t serve teachers here

The teachers say “Please.”

The bartender says, “well OK, But I’m keeping my ion you.”

– Palmo

185 osteology teachers walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, we’re not serving liquor to teachers today.” The teachers say, “How ’bout to marrow?”

– Charlie

185 teachers walk into a bar. the bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve teachers here.” But as teachers, we just want you to “Beer all you can Be.”

–  Ruthie

Best Pop Culture Reference

If you’ve read this blog for a bit, you know I love me some pop culture. So I have to reward this one:

185 teachers walk into a bar and the bartender says, “Sorry we don’t serve teachers here.” The teachers say, “Bartender. Bartender. Bartender.” And the bartender finally says, “Here.”

– Rick

(For those not so pop culture inclined, that’s a Ferris Bueller’s Day Off reference).

Nerdiest:

I’m a nerd, so I had to give it up for this one:

185 math teachers walk into a bar

The bartender says, we can only serve 3.14159 of you here

The teachers say “can you repeat that?”

The bartender says, “don’t be irrational – that can’t happen.”

-Palmo

That’s just chock full o’ nerdy goodness!

Greatest Volume

I said you were allowed to submit multiple entries, and some people took that to heart.

The greatest volume, by a landslide,  was Ruthie , with 37(!!). Well done!

Palmo also deserves a shout out for breaking into double digits with 11. Nice!

First Response

Thanks to Michelle for submitting the first entries. It can be a weird to enter a submission onto an empty board, so I a) congratulate for doing it and b) thank you for getting the ball rolling!

The Runner Ups 

Lots of great ones to choose from. The following two came oh so close:

185 dyslexic teachers walk into a bra.

– Palmo

(I love this one, but you could swap out teachers with any other profession and it would be the same joke. But it made me laugh…)

185 teachers walk into a bar and start banging into things, walking into walls, accidentally knocking over tables. Finally, the bartender gets pissed and grabs one of the teachers and screams: “What the hell do you guys think you are doing?!?” 

The teacher looks up, and freaks out the bartender, showing only white in his eyes.

“Sorry sir,” he says “we have no pupils.”

-Nye

The Winner

And now for your winner:

185 teachers walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve teachers here. The teacher says, “Yea, a Mind is a terrible thing to be wasted.”

This one is great because it fits in with teachers, it plays off a pop culture reference (the old United Negro College Fund commercials), it uses the double being of the word “wasted,” and it seems obvious after the fact. Plus, it made me think of Dan Quayle, which is inherently funny.

– Ruthie

Congratulations Ruthie, and thanks to everyone who participated!
