A P1 teacher, Miss Shyller, was having trouble with one of her
students. The teacher asked, "Melvin, what's your problem?"

Melvin answered, "I'm too smart for P1. My sister is in P3 and I'm
smarter than she is! I think I should be in P3 too!"

Shyller had had enough. She took Melvin to the principal's office.

The principal told Shyller he would give the boy a test. If he
failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to P1 and
behave. She agreed.

Melvin was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and
he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 12 x 14?"

Melvin: "168".

Principal: "What is 26 x 22?"

Melvin: "572".

And so it went with every question the principal thought a P3
student should know.

The principal looks at Shyller and tells her, "I think Melvin can go
to P3."

Shyller says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions."

The principal and Melvin both agreed.

Shyller asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"

Melvin, after a moment: "Legs."

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

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

Melvin replied: "Pockets."

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

Melvin: "Pants"

What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and
contains thin, whitish liquid?

Melvin: "Coconut."

The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.

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

The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the
answer.

Melvin: "Bubble gum"

"What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog
does on three legs?"
Melvin: "Shake hands."

The principal was trembling.

"What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'CK' that means a lot of
heat and excitement?"

Melvin: "Firetruck"

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put
Melvin in P6, I got the last seven
questions wrong......
