the_ed_dawg's Journal: Ginger and Dan's joke

I heard a funny joke today.

A teacher asks her elementary students a math question, "Two birds are sitting on a fence. A man shoots one of the birds. How many are left on the fence?"

A boy raises his hand and replies, "None. One fell to the ground, and the other flew away at the noise."

The teacher responds, "Actually, the answer I was looking for is 'one,' but I like the way you think."

The next day, the boy comes to class and asks the teacher a question: "Two women are sitting in an ice cream parlor eating ice cream cones. One woman is licking her cone. The other woman is sucking on the top of her cone. Which woman is married?"

Being in such an awkward position, the teacher takes a guess. "The one who is sucking," she replies.

The student laughs. "Actually, it's the woman wearing the wedding band... but I like the way you think."
