 The very first time in my life..that I was introduced to this hole !!!!I turned red..head over heels.. I didn't know how to say it..I didn't know where to start..I didn't know what to do !!! My eyes went blind..my ears were shut !!----------As I was walking to observe if the classes were going good with no problems and my teachers were doing fine. I was asked to get into one class which this line was written on the board.'Why are manhole covers round?'With that puzzle looks in the students eyes and I was the little light at the end of that tunnel for them.'Why are manhole covers round?' I repeated it to myself again..'Why? = tammai'  - I got it right'are = verb' - i got it rightbut ... manhole? manhole? manhole ? manhole ? MANHOLEEEEEEEEE ?what the heck is that ?? Is it a man's hole ? and why the heck is it round ?My imagination went wild..wilder than you could ever imagine !! Luckily, my doubt was revealed when one of my teachers came by and I asked what a manhole was !!!!ts?t=12052102128253068526&pid=23296&ppid  ts?t=7196213311373695318&pid=23296&ppid=manhole.gif758435020_faf3cf7796.jpg?v=0Finally the students got it all...and they looked at me with big thanks ( when I actually did nothing but translated what my other teacher said ) and the answer to the doubt in their hearts was revealed.I didn't carry on to find why are manhole covers round..That question was left for the students to answer...But I walked out of the room with the question why ?why 'manhole' ...... 'a man's hole'could be !!!!!!

you would think that "manhole" would be a bit sexist these days as there is plenty of female utility workers around (telephone, power, water etc etc)

But i guess "People hole" or "person hole", just doesnt have the same ring to it!!
