First Day at School...
It was the first day of 3rd grade, and a new school for Johnny. As a
test, the teacher went around the room and asked each of the students to
count to 50.
Some did very well, counting as high as 30 and 40 with just a few
mistakes.
Others couldn't get past 20.
Johnny, however, did extremely well. He counted past 50, right up to 83.
He was so excited that he ran home and told his Dad how well he had
done. His Dad nodded and told him, "That's because you are from
Arkansas, son."
The next day, in language class, the teacher asked the students to
recite the alphabet. Most made it about half way through without much
trouble. Some made it to M and N, but Johnny rattled off the alphabet
right to W.
That evening, Johnny once again bragged to his Dad about his prowess in
his new school. His Dad, knowingly, explained to him, "Son, that's
because you are from Arkansas."
The next day, after Physical Education, the boys were taking showers.
Johnny noted that, compared to the other boys in his grade, he seemed
overly well endowed. This confused him. That night he told his dad,
"Dad, they all have little tiny ones, but mine is ten times bigger than
theirs. Is that because I'm from Arkansas?" he asked.
"No, son," explained his Dad, "That's because you're 18."
