Jim... that reminds me of a great 30 year old joke... Seems there was a new teacher coming into a class that was woefully behind the other classes in their studies.. so... She decided to hold a contest every Friday to motivate her students... She would ask an extremely difficult question and if any student answered correctly, they would not have to come to school on Monday... When little Johnny heard this he was determined that he would win this contest so he could get a free day off from school... When Friday came the teacher said "Ok class, it's time to go home, and it's time for our bonus question. If you get this question right, you don't have to come to school on Monday." Little Johnny was ready. Everybody was listening as the teacher asked... "Who was the first Italian to see the new world and when?" Little Susie jumped up immediately and said... "Christopher Columbus in 1492." The teacher was surprised. "Very good Susie," she said... "Christopher Columbus was commissioned by Spain, but he was Italian and he did come here in 1492. Congratulations, you don't have to come to school on Monday." Upon hearing this, Little Johnny realized that he'd never win this contest unless he came up with a different approach. He thought about it all week and on the following Thursday, he came up with an idea..... He remembered a little novelty shop that sold little black rubber balls at a penny a piece so he stopped by Friday morning on his way to school and bought 25 black rubber balls for a quarter. The man put them into a small brown paper bag and Johnny headed off to school... Johnny stuck the bag under his desk and waited for the end of the day... At 3:00 the teacher said... "Alright class, put away your books, it's time for our bonus question, and remember, if you answer this question correctly you don't have to come to school on Monday." The teacher stood in front of the class and said, "Here's this weeks question." Just at that moment, Johnny reached under his desk, grabbed the paper bag full of little black rubber balls, and threw it as hard as he could at the black board at the front of the room. The bag broke open when it hit the board and the rubber balls went flying all over the room... The teacher said "Alright, who's the comedian with the black balls?" Little Johnny immediately jumped up and said... "Bill Cosby... see you Tuesday..."
