Home made rockets



I was giving a lecture to a group of schoolchildren about home made rockets.
The class teacher stood next to me and her attitude made it obvious that she knew that I didn't know what I was talking about.
However I kept prattling on, saying how I had, as a child, built a small rocket from steel piping and launched it into space.
The schoolchildren loved the talk and couldn't wait to get home and try building one for themselves.
No thoughts of Health and Safety or an irresponsible attitude towards schoolchildren.
That's the way to learn.
