Well, teacher asked me today, and “helluva lot” isn’t the right answer.
The pupils of a certain school were asked to write original compositions on “kings.” The prize was carried off by the youth who handed in the following:
The most powerful king on earth, is Wor-king; the laziest, Shir-king; one of the worst kings, Smo-king; the wittiest, Jo-king; the quietest, Thin-king; the thirstiest, Drin-king; the slyest, Win-king; the noisiest, Tal-king.
At a public school the children were training for the annual flag day celebration. One boy, in order to show good reason why he should take a prominent part in the ceremonies, said that he had a real gun; another had a pistol; a small girl had a flag, and so on.
Finally, one tow-haired lad of six came up to the teacher, and stood waiting for her to see him.
Well, what is it? she asked.
I has a union suit, he said.
