Father: Why did you get such a low score in that exam?
Son: Absence.
Father: You were absent on the day of the exam?
Son: No but the boy who sits next to me was!
Son: Daddy, I got punished in school today.
Dad: Why?
Son: My teacher pointed the scale towards me saying, "At the end of this scale there is an idiot.".
I just asked "Which end?".
Teacher: "Martha, come to the blackboard and tell us on the world map where America is."
Martha points to America correctly.
Teacher: "Good. Now John, you tell us who discovered America."
John: "Martha just did!"
Eight-year-old Sally brought her report card home from school. Her marks were good…mostly A’s and a couple of B’s.
However, her teacher had written across the bottom:
Sally is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit.
Sally’s dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back:
Please let me know if your idea works on Sally because I would like to try it out on her mother.
