Questions & Answers

A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with
one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry,
what's your problem?"

Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the
1st grade. My sister
is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I
think I should be in the 3rd grade too!"

Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took
Harry to the principal's office.

While Harry waited in the outer office,
the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was.

The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he
failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the
1st grade and behave. She agreed.

Harry was brought in and the conditions
were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Q1. Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Ans. Harry: "9."


Q2. Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Ans. Harry: "36."

And so it went with every question the
principal thought a 3rd grader should know.

The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and
tells her, "I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade"

Ms. Brooks says to the principal, "Let
me ask him some questions."

The principal and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks asks,

Q. What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"
Ans. Harry, after a moment: "Legs."

Q. What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!

Ans. Harry replied: "Pockets."

Q. What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Ans. "Pants."

Q. What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains
thin, whitish liquid?"
Ans. "Coconut."

The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.

Q. What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"

The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could
stop the answer,

Harry replied, "Bubble gum."

Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing
up, a woman does
sitting down and a dog does on three legs?"

Harry: "Shake hands."

The principal was trembling.

Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an
'F' and ends in 'K'
that means a lot of heat and excitement?"

Harry: "Firetruck."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief
and told the teacher,
"Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong .
