The teacher tells the class, “There are 3 birds in a tree. A hunter shoots one of the birds off a branch. How many are left?”
Little Johnny raises his hand and answers, “Zero!”
The teacher says, “Johnny, that’s incorrect. Can you tell me why you said zero?”
Johnny says, “Well ma'am, if the hunter shot a bird out of the tree it would scare the rest of them away too.”
“Well,” says the teacher. “That answer is wrong, Johnny, the correct answer is 2, but I like the way you think.”
Johnny stews in his seat for awhile. Finally he raises his hand and says, “Ok, teacher, answer me this. Three ladies are sittin’ on a bench eatin’ icecream cones. The first one is bitin’ it. The second one is lickin’ it. And the thirdun’ is suckin’ it. Which one is married?”
The teacher thinks a moment and says, “Oh, I don’t know Johnny. I’ll say it’s the one sucking.”
Johnny says, “Nope, it’s the one with the weddin’ ring, but I like the way you think!”
