    For those of us still in school __

    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, "May I ask him some questions?"

        The principal and Johnny both nod in agreement.

        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."

        The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put
        Johnny in the fifth grade, I missed the last two questions." >>
