I remember back in 5th grade my teacher brought in for show-and-tell a guy who said his sole job was designing the plastic bags that go in cereal boxes. And to clarify just how boring this guy's job actually is, the teacher asked "do you design the box art as well?" to a emphatic reply "no, but...". Kids only asked about cereal flavors and toys they wanted to see in boxes. He gave everyone 2 little sample cereal boxes; and that was it.

What kind of bizarre trinket cabinet did your teacher have.

“And today kids I brought in Howard. His job is to measure tolerances on every B22 lightbulb to come out of the local GE lightbulb factory”

Once a typing\computer class teacher had a cabinet of corks. All sizes. All kinds. Confiscated. It didn't come from Chemistry, they used rubber stoppers. There was no art decor classes. Nobody knew where they were coming from.
