Comments allegedly made on under-performing students' report cards by teachers in New York City.
* Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom
and has started to dig.
* I would not allow this student to breed.
* Your child has delusions of adequacy.
* Your son is depriving some village of an idiot.
* Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
* The student has a 'full six pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.
* This child has been working with glue too much.
* When your daughter's IQ hits 50, she should sell.
* The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
* If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.
* It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.
* The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

Not known for his on-air manners, Paul Henry got a verbal slapping from Dancing with the Stars evictee Josh Kronfeld on Breakfast yesterday. Henry: "Some comments have been made about Rachel's outfits. You obviously got very, very close to those outfits, and some of them were stunning. Was it hard to keep your mind on the moves?" Kronfeld: "I've gotta be honest, sometimes you're a dickhead ... (at which point, an unfazed Henry laughed like a hyena) ... "Who cares about her costumes?" said Kronfeld. "She looks stunning. In the dancing world everybody's dressed in the same sort of stuff." Kronfeld 10 out of 10 for gallantry. Watch the interview here.

A Mt Albert reader writes: "Tonight I almost ran over a jogger on the crossing at the top of the Western Springs off-ramp from the motorway. She was kitted out all in black, listening to her iPod and shot out on to the road without checking for traffic. I've got a message for this woman: If you want to run at night dressed in black, listen to music instead of keeping an ear out for vehicles and behave as though you are the only one on the road, you will end up dead. Last week, I spotted the Catholic bishop, Pat Dunn, out jogging in the evening in Freemans Bay. He was wearing a fluorescent vest. Perhaps you should get one too."
