The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her
class, "Which human
body part increases to ten times its size when
stimulated?"
No one answered until little Mary stood up and said,
"You should not be
asking sixth-graders a question like that! I'm going
to tell my parents,
and they will go and tell the principal, who will
then fire you!" Mrs.
Parks ignored her and asked the question again,
"Which body part
increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?"
Little Mary's mouth fell open. Then she said to
those around her, "Boy, is
she going to get in big trouble!"
The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the
class, "Anybody?"
Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously,
and said, "The body part
that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is
the pupil of the eye."
Mrs. Parks said, "Very good, Billy," then turned to
Mary and con tinued,
"As for you, young lady, I have three things to say:
One, you have a dirty mind.
Two, you didn't read your homework
And three, one day you are going to be very, very
disappointed
