What Starts with F and ends with K
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 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 replied, '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.....
