A grade three teacher, trying to teach elementary maths in a creative way asks a little boy, “If you have sixteen jelly beans and your friend asks you for eight, how many would you have?”
The little fellow replies, “Sixteen.”
Missing the point
A vice president insists that the company’s new battery-powered product be equipped with a light that comes on to tell you when the power is off.
Free falling
A sky diver and his instructor peer down at the fields 1 500 feet below.
“There’s nothing to worry about,” the instructor says “You jump, count to 100 and pull your ripcord. If that doesn’t work, pull your reserve. There will be a truck down there to pick you up.”
The sky diver takes a breath and plunges into the blue.
After free-falling, he pulls his ripcord. Nothing. He pulls his reserve. A few cobwebs drift out.
The diver shakes his head and says, “I’ll bet that truck is not down there either.”
