"Little Johnny Spells..."
The first grade teacher was starting a new lesson
on multi-syllable words, she thought it would be a
good idea to ask a few of the children examples
of words with more than one syllable.
"Jane, Do you know any multi-syllable words?"
"After some thought Jane proudly replied with
Monday."
"Great Jane that has two syllables, Mon......day."
"Does anyone know another word."
"I do, I do, me me me" replied Johnny.
Knowing Johnny's more mature sense of humor
she picks Mike instead.
"OK Mike, what is your word."
"Saturday." says Mike.
"Great, that has three syllables..."
Not wanting to be outdone Johnny says "I know
a four syllable word, pick me....."
Not thinking he can do any harm with a word that
large the teacher reluctantly says, "O.K. Johnny
what is your four syllable word?"
Johnny proudly says, "Mas...tur...ba...tion."
Shocked, the teacher, trying to retain her
composure says, "Wow, Johnny, four syllables,
that certainly is a mouthful."
"No Ma'am, your thinking of 'blow-job', and
that's only two syllables!"
