Young Jimmy was sitting in the class doing math problems when his teacher picked on him to answer a question.
"Jimmy," she said,"If there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun,how many would be left?"
"None,"replied Jimmy,"Because I would shoot one and the rest would fly away."
"Well the answer I was looking for is four,"said the teacher,"But I like the way you're thinking."
Then young Jimmy said,"I have a question for you now.If there were three women eating ice-creams cones in a shop,one was licking her cone,the second was biting the cone and the third was sucking the cone,which one is married?"
The teacher blushed http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/redface.gif and answered meekly,"Well I'm not sure. I guess the one sucking the cone...."
"No said young Jimmy,"The one with the wedding ring on her finger,but I like the way you're thinking!" http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif
