The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her
class, "Which
human body part increases to ten times its size when
stimulated?"

No one answered until little Mary stood up, angry,
and said, "You
should not be asking sixth-graders a question like
that! I'm going to tell
my parents, and they will go and tell the principal,
who will then fire
you!"
With a sneer on her face, she then sat back down.
Mrs. Parks ignored
her and asked the question again, "Which body part
increases to 10
times its size when stimulated?" Little Mary's mouth
fell open, then she
said to those around her, "Boy, is she going to get in
big trouble!" The
teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class,
anybody?"

Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously,
and said, "The body
part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated
is the pupil of
the eye."

Mrs. Parks said, "Very good, Billy," then turned to
Mary and
continued, "As for you, young lady, I have three
things to say: One, you
have a dirty mind, Two, you didn't read your homework,
and three, one day
you are going to be very, very disappointed."
