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, 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 student 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 a
thin whitish liquid? The principal's eyes open really wide, and before
he could stop the answer, Harry was taking charge. Harry: Coconut
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. The principal was looking
restless and bit tense. Harry: Wedding Ring Teacher: I come in
many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel
better. 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."
