School Problems

"School Problems"*

*It was the first day of school. As the principal
made his rounds, he heard a terrible commotion
coming from one of the classrooms.

He rushed in and spotted one boy, taller than
the others, who seemed to be making the most
noise. He seized the lad, dragged him to the hall,
and told him to wait there until he was excused.

Returning to the classroom, the principal restored
order and lectured the class for half an hour about
the importance of good behavior.

"Now," he said, "are there any questions?"

One girl stood up timidly. " Please sir," she asked,
"May we have our teacher back?"

"New York Proof"*

*A quiet little man was brought before a judge. The
judge looked at the charges and then peered down
at the little man in amazement. "Can you tell me in
your own words what happened?" asked the judge.

"I'm a mathematician dealing in the nature of proof."

"Yes, go on," said the astounded judge.

"Well, I was at the library and I found the books I
wanted and went to take them out. They told me
my library card had expired and I had to get a new one.
So I went to the registration office and got in another
line. I filled out my forms for another card and got back
in line for my card."

"And?" said the judge.

"And then he asked, 'Sir, can you prove you're from
New York City?'

And so I stabbed him..."
