A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was
having trouble with one of her
students. The teacher asked, "Harry,
what's your problem?"
Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the
1st grade.
My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm
smarter than she is! I think I should be
in the 3rd grade too!"
Ms. Brooks 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 Ms 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 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 3rd grader should know.
The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and
tells her,
"I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade."
Ms. Brooks says to the principal, "Let
me ask him
some questions."
The principal and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks asks, "What does a cow
have four of that
I have only two of?"
Harry, after a moment: "Legs."
Ms. Brooks: "What is in your pants that
you have
but I do not have?"
The principal wondered, why would she
ask such a
question!
Harry replied: "Pockets."
Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do that a
man steps
into?"
Harry: "Pants"
Ms. Brooks: What's starts with a C,
ends with! a T,
is hairy, oval, delicious and contains
thin, whitish liquid?
Harry: "Coconut."
The principal sat forward with his
mouth hanging
open.
Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard and
pink then comes
out soft and sticky?"
The principal's eyes opened really wide
and before
he could stop the answer.
Harry: "Bubble gum"
Ms. 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 trembling.
Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an
'F' and ends
in 'K' that means a lot of heat and
excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck"
The principal breathed a sigh of relief
and told
the teacher, "Put Harry in the
fifth-grade, I got the last seven
questions wrong......
