Woodwork Class

"Woodwork Class"*

*On the first day of the school term the shop teacher
was surprised to see a rather proper-looking young
lady sitting in the front row of his classroom. Her
name was Emily and she was the only girl to sign up
for the woodwork class.

The bemused teacher asked her if she was sure she
 was in the right class. Emily assured him that she was.

The teacher, still somewhat puzzled, added, "This
course may be a bit out of your league. Do you
have any experience at all working with tools?"

"What exactly do you mean?" Emily asked.

"Well, for example, do you know the difference
between a nail, a screw and a bolt?" the teacher expounded.

After pondering for a moment, Emily admitted, "I
can't really say, since I've never been 'bolted' before."
