Helping her young students with a math problem and after choosing a student in particular, a teacher said, "John, there are three birds sitting on a telephone wire. A man with a gun shoots one of the birds. How many birds are left on the wire?" John paused and replied thoughtfully, "None!" And the teacher said patiently, "No, no, no. Let's try again. Maybe you didn't hear me correctly.” And holding up three fingers, the teacher said, "There are three birds sitting on a wire. A man with a gun shoots one," she puts down one finger, "how many birds are left on the wire?" But John still said with authority, "None." The teacher sighed and said, "Tell me how you came up with that." And John said, "It's simple! After the man shot one bird, the noise from the gun scared the other two away." The teacher then said, "Well, that's not technically correct, but I like the way you think."
John then chimed, "Thanks! Now let me ask you a question." When the teacher guardedly said, "Okay," John asdked innocently, "There are three women sitting on a bench eating popsicles. One woman is licking the popsicle, one woman is biting the popsicle, and one is sucking the popsicle. Which one is married?" The teacher looked at John's angelic face, and writhed in agony turning three shades of red. And John said impatiently, "C'mon! Which one is it? The one licking the popsicle, the one biting it, or the one sucking it; which one is married?" The teacher gulped, and in a barely audible whisper replied, "Well, uh the one who's sucking!" Then John said with surprise, "The one with the wedding ring! But I like the way you think!!"
