Poor Little Johnny
Teacher is having a hard time getting the kids in her class to show some interest.
I know she thinks, I'll give them something to do and reward them all with time off.
So next class, teacher sets the kids the task of inventing something totally unique. The reward, depending how good the teacher and clas grade the new invention, so many days off.
So it begins. Sarah has invented a brand new type of table lamp. Teacher agrees it is worth 2 days off.
Robert devises a new light switch to complement Sarah's new lamp. He gets 1 day off (Sexual Discrimination I can hear you all shouting) Tuff. It's my story!
It gets to the end of the week and the entire class have all come up with unique inventions and been awarded time off. Apart from Little Johnny.
Oh God thinks the teacher. I forgot about Little Johnny. He is too thick to invent anything (See no PC stuff here. Too thick is not labelled "Gifted" "Special needs" or "Challenged" - He's a thicko and that's all there is to it)
I know she thinks, I'll set him a task. So teacher says to Little Johnny(this story is even Heightist) I want you to invent a new kind of mousetrap. Even Little Johnny can do this she thinks.
So Little Johnny goes off and spends the entire weekend on his design.
Monday morning he presents his design to the teacher.
It consists of a block of wood with a razor blade set upright and a block of cheese on one side of the wood and razor blade.
He expalians to the class that mousey comes along, smells the cheese and as he leans over the blade to get to the chese slits hios throat.
Teacher, whilst feeling sorry for Little Johnny says, I'm sorry Little Johnny. This will never work. Don't you realise that a mouse's throat is quite tough and he will simply lean over eat the cheese and be gone? I can't give you time off for that. You'll have to do better.
So Little Johnny goes home thinking he will never get time off like thwe rest of the class.
He stays up all night working away.
Next day he reveals to the class his new improved mouse trap.
It looks the same as before. Teacher says so but questions where the block of chese is?
Ah Miss, says Little Johnny. That's the clever bit. Mosey comes along, sticks his neck over the razor blade and looks from side to side going, Where's the bloody cheese?
Boom Boom!
