The two things I remember from elementary school

My wife and I were talking this evening about the things we heard classmates and teachers say in elementary school that have managed to stick with us over the years. Here are the two things I remember:
  1. Ricky Scott's explanation of chocolate milk: "Chocolate milk is actually sour milk, sweetened so much that it tastes like chocolate." (You really have to emphasize the "so much" when you say it.)
  2. Mr. Beck's (6th grade teacher) punishment for talking in class--we had to write the following sentence 10 times: "It is exceedingly disrespectful to disregard a teacher's request for verbal non-communication."

What are the two quotes that have stuck with you from elementary school?

Wow...all I can remember quotation-wise is "Susan-boosan big fat woosan." Sad, huh?
