Well, Willie, what is it? asked the teacher.
Please, ma’am, do you want us to draw a hen or a rooster?
Here is Jimmie’s essay on pants: Pants are made for men and not for women. Women are made for men and not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man they are a pair of pants. Such pants don’t last. Pants are like molasses—they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. Men are often mistaken in pants; such mistakes are breaches of promise. There has been much discussion whether pants is singular or plural. Seems to me when men wear pants it is plural, and when they don’t wear pants it is singular. Men go on a tear in their pants and it is all right, but when the pants go on a tear it is all wrong. If you want to make pants last, make the coat first.
Pop, I got in trouble at school today and it’s all your fault.
How’s that my son?
Well, you remember when I asked you how much a million dollars was?
Yes, I remember.
