This takes a while to read but is worth it…
A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her
students.
The teacher asked, “Harry what is your problem?” Harry answered,
“I’m
too
smart for the first- grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I’m
smarter
than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!”
The teacher had had enough. She took Harry to the principal’s
office.
While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to
the
principal what the situation was. The principal told the teacher
he
would
give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his
questions he
was
to go back to the first-grade and behave. The teacher agreed.
Harry was
brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he 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 thought a
third-grade
should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, “I
think
Harry can go to the third-grade.”
The teacher says to the principal, “Let me ask him some
questions?” The
principal and Harry both agree.
The teacher asks, “What does a cow have four of that I have only
two
of?”
Harry, after a moment “Legs.”
Teacher: “What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?”
The
Principal wondered, why does she ask such a question! Harry
replied,
“Pockets.”
Teacher: “What does a dog do that a man steps into?”
Harry: “Pants”
Teacher: What’s starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval,
delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?
Harry: Coconut.
The principal’s eyes open really wide and before he could stop the
answer,
Harry was taking charge.
Teacher: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and
sticky?
Harry: Bubblegum
Teacher: What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down
and a
dog
do on three legs? The principal’s eyes open really wide and before
he
could
stop the answer.
Harry: Shake hands
Teacher: Now I will ask some “Who am I” sort of questions, okay?
Harry: Yep.
Teacher: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me
up.
I
get wet before you do.
Harry: Tent
Teacher: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you’re
bored. The
best man always has me first.
Principal was looking restless and bit tense.
Harry: Wedding RingTeacher: I come in many sizes. When I’m not well, I drip. When you
blow
me,
you feel good.
Harry: Nose
Teacher: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a
quiver.
Harry: Arrow
Teacher: What word starts with an ‘F’ and ends in ‘K’ that means a
lot
of
excitement?
Harry: Firetruck
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, “Put Harry
in
the fifth-grade, I got the last ten questions wrong myself.”
