From my Shows stash: DO YOUR HOMEWORKMrs. Parks asked her 6th grade students, "Which body part increases
to 10 times its size, when stimulated?"
No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, "You should
not be asking sixth-graders a question like that! I'm going to tell my
parents, and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire
you!"
Mrs.Parks ignored her and asked the question again, "Which body part
increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?"
Little Mary's mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her,
"Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!"
The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class,
"Anybody?"
Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, "The
body part that increases 10 times its size when stimu lated is the pupil
of the eye."
Mrs. Parks said, "Very good, Billy," then turned to Mary and
continued,
"As for you, young lady, I have three things to say:
One, you have a dirty mind.
Two, you didn't read your homework.
And three, one day you are going to be very, very disappointed."
