A Primary School 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 Primary 1. My sister is in Primary 3
and I’m smarter than she is! I think I should be in
Primary 3 too!"
The teacher 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 Primary 1 and
behave. The teacher agreed. Harry was brought in.
The conditions were explained and Harry 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 Primary 1 student should know. The
principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think
Harry can go to Primary 3." The teacher says to
the principal, "May I ask him some
tougher questions?" The principal and Harry both
agree.
Teacher: "What does a cow have four of that I have
only two?"
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 starts with a C and ends with a T,
and it 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 do sitting down and a dog do 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?"
Teacher: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie
me down to get me up. I get wet before you do."
Who am I?
Harry: "A tent."
Teacher: "A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me
when you’re bored. The best man always has me
first." What am I? (Principal was looking restless
and a bit tensed.)
Harry: "A wedding ring."
Teacher: "I come in many sizes. When I’m not
well, I drip. When you blow me, I feel good." What
am I?
Harry: "A nose."
Teacher: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I
come with a quiver."
What am I?
Harry: "An arrow."
Teacher: "What word starts with an ‘F’ and ends
in ‘K’ that means a lot of excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the
teacher, "Put this ass in Primary 6! I got the last
10 questions all wrong myself."
