A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The
teacher asked, "Harry what is your problem?"

Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the 
third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 
third-grade too!"The teacher 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 the teacher he 
would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his 
questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.The teacher 
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 third-grader should know. 

The principal looked at the teacher and told her, "I think 
Harry can go to the third-grade."

The teacher said to the principal, "Let me ask him some
questions?" The principal and Harry both agreed.

The teacher asked, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"

Harry, after a moment "Legs." 

Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?" 

The principal wondered, why does she ask such a question! 

Harry replied, "Pockets." 

Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"

Harry: "Pants"

Teacher: "What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval,
delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?"

The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the
answer, Harry was taking charge. 

Harry: "Coconut".

Teacher: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?" 

Harry: Bubblegum.

Teacher: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and
a dog do on three legs?" 

The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the
answer, Harry said, "Shake hands."

Teacher: "Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions,
okay?"

Harry: "Yep."

Teacher: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me
up. I get wet before you do."

Harry: "Tent."

Teacher: "A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored.
The best man always has me first." 

The principal was looking restless and bit tense. 

Harry: "Wedding ring." 

Teacher: "I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you
blow me, you feel good."

Harry: "Nose." 

Teacher: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver".

Harry: "Arrow." 

Teacher: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a
lot of excitement?"

Harry: "Fire truck."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put
Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last ten questions wrong myself."
