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 in to?'
> 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
