Little Johnny in Math class & ice cream
One day a teacher is going over mathematics with her class.
She says to her class "Ok, you have 5 birds on a telephone
wire. A farmer comes out and shoots one. How many are remaining?"
From out of nowhere little Johnny raises his hand very confident
he knows the answer. The teacher sees little Johnny's
hand and calls on him admiring his eagerness to reply. She
says "Johnny, how many birds are left if the farmer
shoots one?" Little Johnny says "There wouldn't
be any left".
Curious as to his logic she asks him as to why there wouldn't
be any birds left. Little Johnny replies "Because
if he shot at one, then the rest would get scared and fly away".
The teacher thought it was cute but felt she had to correct
his reasoning or he wouldn't learn a lesson. The teacher
then says "I'm sorry Johnny, but you're
wrong". Johnny asks why. She tells him "If you
shoot one bird out of the 5, then you'll have 4 remaining,
but I like the way you're thinking".
Johnny, feeling a little down, decides to make a come back
to the teacher because he wanted to get the last word in.
He says to the teacher "Ok, now I have a problem for
you ma'am". The teacher was surprised as to this,
but decided to amuse him none the less. She says "Ok,
go ahead and ask".
Johnny says "There are 3 women walking down the street
eating ice cream on a cone. One is licking the ice cream,
another is biting the ice cream, and the 3rd is sucking the
ice cream, which one is married?" Blushing, the teacher
didn't know what to say right away, at the same time,
she wanted to guess right so she says "Hmmmmm, I would
have to say the one licking the ice cream".
Johnny says "No. The one with the wedding ring on her
finger, but I like the way you're thinking!".
