Teacher: What did you do over the long weekend?
Little Johnny: We went to Samson hill for a picnic but dad forgot to load the picnic basket. My mom looked at dad put her wrist on her hip and began to tap her toe. In seconds my dad was a hundred yards away at the bottom of the hill.
Teacher: So your dad ran away?
Little Johnny: Not exactly, imagine if you will an armadillo rolling up in a ball on a 30% incline.
Engineering classes at the University of Maryland are tough, and struggling students sometimes go to extremes in order to pass. Grading exams one semester, I got to this question: "What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy?"
One student, obviously stumped, decided to get clever and wrote, "As far as I know, they're just friends, but there could be something else going on there."
Teacher: Little Johnny you look sad today.
Little Johnny: Actually I’m really, really sad. My dad caught me sneaking a cookie before dinner with our new nanny cam and now I’m grounded.
Teacher: I can understand you being sad but why are you really, really sad?
Little Johnny: When I told my mother what happened she said, “What nanny cam? We don’t have a nanny cam.”
When I look at chocolate, I hear two voices in my head.
The first one says, "You need to eat the chocolate.”
The second one says, "You heard. Eat the chocolate."
