Little Johnny was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question.

"Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?"

Johnny thought for a second and said, “None, ma’am.”

The teacher raised an eyebrow. “None? How do you figure that?”

“Well,” said Johnny, grinning, “if I shoot one, the loud bang would scare the rest away. So none would be left on the fence.”

The teacher smiled. “Well, that’s not the answer I was looking for — the correct answer is four — but I like the way you think.”

Johnny sat back proudly. Then he raised his hand and said, “Can I ask you a question, Miss?”

“Sure, go ahead,” she replied.

“There are three women eating ice cream. One is licking it, one is biting it, and one is sucking it. Which one is married?”

The teacher blushed and stammered, “Uh... I don’t know... the one... licking it?”

“Nope,” said Johnny. “It’s the one with the wedding ring on. But I like the way you think!”

The class erupted in laughter while the teacher shook her head, muttering, “Parent-teacher conference... definitely.”

From that day forward, the teacher brought decaf, Johnny brought wit, and the math lessons were never boring again.
