"Little Johnny Gets Promoted"
A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of
her students. The teacher asked, "Johnny what is
your problem?" Johnny 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 Johnny 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 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.
Johnny was brought in and the conditions are
explained to him and, he agrees 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 third grader should know. The principal looks at the
teacher and tells her, "I think Johnny can go to the third
grade."
The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him
some questions?" The principal and Johnny both
agree. The teacher asks, "What does a cow have
four of that I have only two of?" Johnny, after a moment,
"Legs." Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have
but I do not have?" The principal's eyes open really wide
and before he could stop the answer, Johnny replied,
"Pockets." Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man
steps into?" Johnny: "Pants." Teacher: "What word
starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of
excitement?" Johnny: "Firetruck."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the
teacher, "Put Johnny in the fifth grade, I missed the
last four questions myself."
