Lesson

    A teacher was giving her class of

    7-year-olds a natural history lesson.

    “Worker ants,” she told them, “can carry pieces of food five times their own weight. What do you conclude from that?”

    One child was ready with the answer: “They don’t have a union.”

    Without tables

    Teacher: Cindy, why are you doing your math multiplication on the floor?

    Cindy: You told me to do it without using tables!

    Spell crocodile

    Teacher: How do you spell “crocodile?”

    Cindy: K-R-O-K-O-D-A-I-L.

    Teacher: No, that’s wrong.

    Cindy: Maybe it’s wrong, but you asked me how I spell it!

    Dirt in coffee

    A customer ordered some coffee in a cafe. The waitress arrived with the coffee and placed it on the table.

    After a few moments, the customer called for the waitress.

    “Waitress,” he said, “there’s dirt in my coffee!”

    “That’s not surprising, sir,” replied the waitress. “It was ground only half an hour ago.”
