A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her  
 students. The teacher asked, "Harry, what's your problem?" 
 Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 
 3rd  grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade  
 too!" 
 Ms. Brooks had 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 Ms.  Brooks he would 
 give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his  questions he was to 
 go back to the 1st grade and behave. She  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 3rd grader 
 should know. 
 The principal looks at Ms.  Brooks and tells her, "I think Harry can go 
 to the 3rd grade." 
 Ms. Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions." 
 The principal and Harry both agreed. 
 Ms. Brooks asks, "What does a  cow have four of that I have only two 
 of?"
 Harry, after a moment:  "Legs." 
 Ms. Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I do  not have?" 
 The principal wondered why would she ask such! a question!
 Harry  replied: "Pockets." 
 Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do  that a man steps into?"
 Harry: "Pants." 
 Ms. Brooks: What  starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, 
 delicious and contains thin,  whitish liquid?"
 Harry: "Coconut." 
 The principal sat  forward with his mouth hanging open. 
 Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard  and pink then comes out soft and 
 sticky?"  The principal's eyes opened  really wide and before he  could stop 
 the answer, Harry replied, "Bubble  gum." 
 Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does  sitting down 
 and a    dog does on three legs?"
 Harry: "Shake  hands." 
 The principal was trembling. 
 Ms. Brooks:  "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a 
 lot    of heat  and excitement?"  Harry: "Firetruck." 
 The principal breathed a sigh  of relief and told the teacher, "Put 
 Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the  last seven questions wrong...... "
