Little Johnny
The teacher is doing word problems and calls on little Johnny.
"There are 3 birds on a high wire. You shoot one of the
birds, how many birds are left on the high wire?" Little
Johnny says none.
The teacher tells Johnny to listen more
closely and tells him the word problem again. Once more
she asks how many birds are left on the high wire? He replys
none.
The teacher asks little Johnny how he comes up with
none. Little Johnny says when you shoot the first bird the
other 2 will fly off. She tells him "That is the wrong
answer, but I like the way you think".
Little Johnny tells the teacher he has a word problem for
her.
She cringes because she knows his reputation around
school, but she indicates she is listening. Little Johnny
says there are 3 women on a park bench eating ice cream cones.
One is licking the cone, one is sucking the cone and the third
is biting the cone.
Which woman is married.
Ducking her head the teacher says she does not know. Little
Johnny tells
her to listen more closely and tells her the word problem
again.
Once again, he asks her which woman is married. Bowing
her head she whispers, "the woman sucking the cone."
"No", says Johnny, "the woman with the
wedding ring", but I like the way you think.
