Clever Little Johnny

A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her
students. The teacher asked, 'Johnny what's your problem?'

Johnny 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 enough. She took him to the principal's office.

While Johnny 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.

Johnny was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and
he agreed to take the test.

Principal: 'What is 3 x 3?'

Johnny: '9.'

Principal: 'What is 6 x 6?'

Johnny: '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
Johnny can go to the 3rd grade'

Ms. Brooks says to the principal, 'Let me ask him some questions..'
The principal and Johnny both agreed.

Ms. Brooks asks, 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two
of?'

Johnny, 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!

Johnny replied: 'Pockets.'

Ms. Brooks: 'What does a dog do that a man steps into?'

Johnny: 'Pants.' 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, Johnny replied, 'Bubble gum.'

Ms. Brooks: 'What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting
down and a dog does on three legs?'

Johnny: '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?'

Johnny: 'Firetruck.'

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, 'Put Johnny
in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong...'
