On Wednesday afternoon, a fourth-grade teacher announces to
her class, "Children, I'm going to ask you a question, and if
anyone can answer it correctly, they can take tomorrow off
from school."
Of course, this gets the immediate and undivided attention of
all the students. They lean forward in their chairs and listen
intently.
"All right," says the teacher, "here is the question: How many
grains of sand are there on the beach at the Oak Street beach?"
Needless to say, none of the children knows the answer.
The following day, the teacher says, "If you can answer today's
question correctly, you may take tomorrow off from school.
The question is: How many drops of water are there in the
Lake Michigan?"
The children sit in silence, frustrated by the second
impossibly difficult question. Dirty Johnny, sitting in the
back of the class, is particularly annoyed. "I'm gonna fix
her,' he thinks. That night, he goes home and paints two golf
balls black.
Friday, the teacher says, "Okay, here is today's question..."
But before she can get it out, Dirty Johnny rolls the two
painted golf balls to the front of the room. With a loud
clatter, the golf balls hit the wall right below the blackboard.
Startled, the teacher looks around the room and says, "All
right, who's the comedian with the black balls?"
Eddie Murphy," Johnny replies. "I'll see ya Tuesday."
