Man Made Toothpick Vanish In Class

LAND 'O LAKES, Fla. -- A substitute teacher in Pasco County has lost his job after being accused of wizardry.

Teacher Jim Piculas does a magic trick where a toothpick disappears and then reappears.

Piculas recently did the 30-second trick in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes.

Piculas said he then got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he'd been accused of wizardry.

"I get a call the middle of the day from head of supervisor of substitute teachers. He says, 'Jim, we have a huge issue, you can't take any more assignments you need to come in right away,'" he said.

Piculas said he did not know of any other accusations that would have led to the action.

The teacher said he is concerned that the incident may prevent him from getting future jobs.

this fucking country, i swear to god

wtf is wrong with people?

Ignorance and fear.

i just don't understand the logic behind FIRING someone, as if he couldn't have explained the trick to them.

Oh dear... he is from Land O' Flakes....

maybe he should threaten to sour all of their milk if they don't leave him alone.

Land O' Lakes?

Is this where the butter is from?

Crackers...

Slave2daGroove said:

yes.

Imago said:

No it is not... I was told it was not where the butter is from. Did someone lie to me?

shanti0608 said:

I thought it was.

Butter, chickens, and some other farm goods come from there right?


Or am I wrong?


OMG, this could be another one of those 'Santa Clause' level revelations if I'm proven wrong

Imago said:

I thought it was a long time ago too and I was corrected.

It's a Minnesota company. I've always known that. We're the land of 10,000 lakes. And we have lots of farms. And everything here is named after native american stuff, hence the native american lady in their logo.
