Your morning chuckle.
A first-grade teacher, Miss Brooks, was having trouble with one of her more
precocious students. The teacher asked, 'Harry, what exactly is your
problem?'
Harry answered, 'I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in 3rd grade
and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!'
Miss Brooks finally had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office.
While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained the situation to
the principal. He told Miss Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed
to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave.
She agreed
Harry was brought in and he happily agreed to take the test.
Principal: 'What is 3 x 3?'
Harry: '9.
Principal: 'What is 6 x 6?'
Harry: '36.'
And so it went with every question the principal believed a bright 3rd grader
should know.
The principal looked at Miss Brooks and told her, 'You know I reckon Harry can
go to the 3rd grade.
But Miss Brooks was still sceptical of the little bugger and said to the
principal, 'Not so fast, sir. Let me ask him a few questions.'
Miss Brooks asked, 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Harry, after a moment: 'Legs..'
Miss Brooks: 'What do you have in your pants that I do not have?
The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!
Harry replied: 'Pockets.' to the Principal's great relief.....
Miss Brooks: 'What does a dog do that a man steps into?'
Harry: 'Pants.'
By now, the principal was sitting forward with his mouth hanging open.
Miss Brooks: 'What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?
Now the principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could intervene,
Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.'
Miss Brooks: 'What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a
dog does on three legs?
Harry: 'Shake hands.'
The principal was now trembling with apprehension as Ms. Brooks asked her last
question......
Miss Brooks: 'What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' and indicates a
great deal of heat and excitement?
Harry: 'Firetruck.'
The principal breathed a huge sigh of relief and told the teacher,
"Put the little guy in 5th-Grade, I got the last seven questions wrong myself.
