"A Real Math Problem"
Mrs. Applebee, the 6th grade teacher, posed the
following problem to one of her classes:
"A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars.
One-fifth is to go to his wife, one-fifth is to go to his
son, one-sixth to his butler, and the rest to charity.
Now, what does each get?"
After a very long silence in the classroom, Little
Johnny raised his hand.
The teacher called on Little Johnny for his answer.
With complete sincerity in his voice, Little Johnny
answered, "A lawyer!"

"The Boy & The Soda Machine"
While on maternity leave, a woman from our
office brought in her new bundle of joy. She
also had her seven-year-old son with her.
Everyone gathered around the baby, and the
little boy asked, "Mommy, can I have some
money to buy a soda?"
"What do you say?" she asked.
Respectfully, the boy replied, "You're thin and
beautiful."
The woman reached into her purse and gave
her son the money.
