The Thought Process...
A teacher was working with her seventh grade class on "Thinking Skills".
She was giving some concrete examples of deductive reasoning skills.
"I'm holding an object behind my back", she said, "And it's round and
red."
Little Mary in the front row stuck her hand up. "Is it a cherry?" she
inquired.
"No," said the teacher,"It's an apple, but I like the way you think."
Next the teacher said, "I'm holding something behind my back. It's long
and yellow. Can anyone guess what it is?"
"A banana! A banana!" shouted little Freddy.
"No," said the teacher, "It's a pencil, but I like the way you think."
A voice boomed from the back of the room. It was Dukie. "Hey teach, how
about I hide something and you guess." Not to be outdone the teacher
agreed.
Dukie swaggered up to the front of the room, dug his hand into his
pocket, and said, "I've got something in my pocket. It's round and hard
and it's got a head on it."
The teacher thought for a moment, her face reddened. "Dukie, that's
obscene, sit down."
"No it's not teach," he said as he brought his hand out of his pocket.
"It's a quarter, but I like the way you think."
