6. Bye Bye, Mr. Fyde

CHAPTER 6 BYE-BYE, MR. FYDE The next day, George and Harold's science teacher, Mr. Fyde, knocked on Mr. Krupp's door. "What do you want?" barked Mr. Krupp. "I've—I've come to resign," said Mr. Fyde "I—I just can't take it anymore." "Now hold on, bub," said Mr. Krupp. "Being a teacher is hard work! You can't just quit your job when things aren't—" "You don't understand," said Mr. Fyde. "I think I'm cracking up!" "What do you mean?" asked Mr. Krupp.

"Well," said Mr. Fyde. "It all started a few months ago when I had this dream that I got eaten up by a talking toilet. Then I started hearing cats and dogs meowing and growling in the classroom. Then, I imagined that the school got flooded with sticky green goop... and just yesterday, I thought I saw a group of abominable snowmen chasing two boys down the hallway."

"Now wait just a minute, Morty," said Mr. Krupp. "All of that can be explained." "—And a few days ago," said Mr. Fyde, "I thought I saw a big fat bald guy in his underwear fly out the window." "Holy cow!" said Mr. Krupp. "You ARE crazy!"

So Mr. Fyde handed in his resignation, and left Jerome Horwitz Elementary School for the greener pastures of the Piqua Valley Home for the Reality- Challenged. "Now, where am I going to find a new science teacher on such short notice?" said Mr. Krupp. "Where, oh where?"
