Science Class

[sharonjo]

The 8th 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 angrily

and said, "You should not be asking eighth-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!" With a sneer on her face, she then sat back down.

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. She said

to those around her, "Boy, is she going to get in big

trouble!"

The teacher continued to ignore her and asked the

class, "Anybody?" Finally, Billy stood up, looked

around nervously, and replied, "The body part that

increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the

pupil of the eye."

"Very good, Billy," said Mrs. Parks.

Then, turning to Mary, she said: "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!
