Making the Grade

A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her
students. The
teacher asks, "Johnnie! What is your problem?!"

Johnnie says, "I'm too smart for the first grade. My
sister's in the third grade and I'm smarter than she is! I
think I should be in the third grade!"

The teacher had had enough. As a result, she took Johnnie to
the
principal's office and explained Johnnie's request.

While Johnnie waited in the outer office, the teacher
explained the
situation to the principal. The principal told Johnnie's
teacher that he would give the boy a test and if Johnnie
failed to answer any of the special questions he was to go
back to the first grade and behave.

The teacher agreed. Johnnie was brought into the room. The
principal told Johnnie his terms and Johnnie agreed.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Johnnie: "9"
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Johnnie: "36"
Principal: "What is 9 x 9?"
Johnnie: "81"

And so it went with every question the principal thought a
third grader should know. Johnnie appeared to have a strong
case. The principal looked at the teacher and told her, "I
think Johnnie can go on to the third grade."

The teacher, knowing Little Johnnie's tendency toward sexual
wisecracks, said to the principal, "Let *me* ask him some
questions before we make that decision?"

The principal and Johnnie both agreed, Johnnie with a sly
look on his face.

The teacher began by asking, "What does a cow have 4 of that
I have only 2 of?"

Johnnie: "Legs."

Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not
have?"

The principal's eyes open wide! Before he could stop
Johnnie's expected answer, Johnnie said, "Pockets."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the
teacher, "I think we should put Johnnie in the fifth grade.
I missed the last two questions myself!"
