[The Chaser]

A first-year teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, 'Harry, what's your problem ?'
Harry answered, 'I'm too smart for the 1st yea. rMy sister is in the 3rd year and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too !'
Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the head's office. While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the head what the situation was. The head told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st year and behave. She agreed.
Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Head : 'What is 3 x 3 ?'
Harry : '9.'
Head : 'What is6 x 6 ?'
Harry : '36.'
And so it went with every question the head thought a 3rd grader should know.
The head looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, 'I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade.'
Ms. Brooks says to the principal,' Let me ask him some questions.'
The head and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks asks, 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two of ?'
Harry, after a moment: 'Legs.'
Ms Brooks: 'What is in your pants that you have but I do not have ?'

Harry replied : 'Pockets.'
Ms. Brooks : 'What does a dog do that a man steps into ?'
Harry : 'Pants.'
Ms. Brooks : What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid ?'
Harry :' Coconut.'
The head sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms. Brooks :' What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky ?'
The head's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.'
Ms. Brooks : 'What can a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs ?'
Harry : 'Shake hands.'
The head was trembling.
Ms. Brooks : 'What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement ?'
Harry : 'Fire truck.'
The headmaster breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher,' Put Harry in the fifth-year, I got the last seven questions wrong.....'
