    :DA 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 principals 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.

    Principal: "What is 3 x 3 ?"

    Harry: "9."


    Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

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

    The principal and Harry both agreed.

    Ms. Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of
    that I have only two of?"

    Harry, after a moment: "Legs."

    Ms. Brooks: "What is in your pants that you
    have but I do not have?"

    The principal wondered why would she ask such
    a question!

    Harry replied: "Pockets."

    Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do that a man
    steps into?"

    Harry: "Pants."

    Ms. Brooks: What starts with a C, ends with a
    T, is hairy, oval, delicious
    ;and contains thin, whitish liquid?"

    Harry: "Coconut."

    The principal sat forward with his mouth
    hanging open.

    Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then
    comes out soft and sticky?"

    The principals 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 .
    :D
