After a challenging 100-mile bike ride, a geography teacher humorously claims to have beaten Lance Armstrong when asked by his students. To back up his boast, he cleverly merges two photos: one of Armstrong and one of himself crossing the finish line. The result is a fabricated yet entertaining image that he displays in class, leading to a memorable inside joke that enhances the classroom's fun atmosphere and becomes a cherished teaching memory.
Without missing a beat, I said, "I beat Lance Armstrong." That's when a spunky girl in the back - the kind every teacher remembers - shot back: "Prove it."
I merged the two images, aligning them just right so that it looked like I was beating Lance Armstrong by about a foot.
Most of the kids could tell it was fake... but that wasn't the point. The joke took off.
It became one of those goofy classroom legends that made the year more fun - and one of my favorite teaching memories.
