One day in class the teacher brought a bag full of fruit.
"Now class, I'm going to reach into the bag and describe
a piece of fruit, and you tell what fruit I'm talking about.
Okay, first: it's round, plumb and red."

Of course, Johnny raised his hand high, but the teacher,
wisely Ignored him and picked Deborah, who promptly
answered: "An apple."

"No Deborah, it's a beet, but I like your thinking. Now for
the second. It's soft, fuzzy, and colored red and brownish."

Well, Johnny is hopping up and down in his seat trying to
get the teacher to call on him. But she skips him again
and calls on Billy. "Is it a peach?"

"No, Billy, I'm afraid it's a potato. But I like your thinking.

Here's another: It's long, yellow, and fairly hard." By now
Johnny is about to explode as he waves his hand frantically.
The teacher skips him again and calls on Sally. "A banana,"
she says.

"No," the teacher replies, "it's a squash, but I like your
thinking."

 Johnny is kind of irritated now, so he speaks up
loudly. "Hey, I've got one for you teacher; let me put my
hand in my pocket. Okay, I've got it it's round, hard, and
it got a head on it."

"Johnny!" she cries. "That's disgusting!"

"Nope," answers Johnny, "it's a quarter, but I like the way
your thinking!"
