Problem student
A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students.
The teacher asked, 'Harry what is your problem?'
Harry 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 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 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. 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 third- grade
should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, 'I think
Harry can go to the third-grade.
'The teacher says to the principal, 'Let me ask him some questions?' The
principal and Harry both agree.
Teacher: 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Harry: 'Legs'
Teacher: 'What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?' (The
principal wondered, why does she ask such a question!)
Harry: 'Pockets'
Teacher: 'What does a dog do that a man steps into?'
Harry: 'Pants'
Teacher: What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious
and contains thin whitish liquid?' (The principal's eyes open really wide
and before he could stop the answer...)
Harry: 'Coconut'
Teacher: 'What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?'
Harry: 'Bubblegum'
Teacher: 'What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a
dog does on three legs?' (The principal's eyes open really wide and before
he could stop the answer...)
Harry: 'Shake hands'
Teacher: 'Now I will ask some 'Who am I' sort of questions, okay?'
Harry: 'Yup'
Teacher: 'You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I
get wet before you do'
Harry: 'Tent'
Teacher: 'A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored.
The best man always has me first' (Principal was looking restless and a bit
tense)
Harry: 'Wedding Ring'
Teacher: 'I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me,
you feel good'
Harry: 'Nose'
Teacher: 'I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver'
Harry: 'Arrow'
Teacher: 'What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of
excitement?'
Harry: 'Fire truck'
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, 'Put his ass
in the fifth-grade, I got the last ten questions wrong myself
The teacher asked, 'Harry what is your problem?'

third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the
third-grade too!'
