[BITList] What Starts With "f"?

[FA]

    A first-grade teacher, Ms Brooks, was having trouble
    with one of her more precocious students.
    The teacher asked, 'Harry, what exactly is your problem?'
    Harry answered, 'I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the
    3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the
    3rd grade too!'
    Ms.Brooks finally had enough. She took Harry to the principals office.
    While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher
    explained to the situation to the principal. The principal told Ms.
    Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his
    questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
    Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and
    he happily agreed to take the test.
    Principal: 'What is 3 x 3?'
    Harry: '9..'
    Principal: 'What is 6 x 6?'
    Harry: '36.'
    And so it went with every question the principal thought a bright 3rd
    grader should know.
    The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her,
    'You know I reckon Harry can go to the 3rd grade'
    But Ms. Brooks is still skeptical of the little bugger and says to
    the principal, 'Not so fast, let me ask him a few questions..'
    The principal and Harry both agree.
    Ms. Brooks asks, 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two
    of?'
    Harry, after a moment: 'Legs..'
    Ms Brooks: 'What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?'
    The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!
    Harry replied: 'Pockets..? to the Principals great relief?..
    Ms. Brooks: 'What does a dog do that a man steps into?'
    Harry: 'Pants.'
    By now, the principal is sitting forward with his mouth hanging open..
    Ms.. Brooks:'What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and
    sticky?'
    Now the principals eyes open really wide and before he could
    intervene, Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.'
    Ms. Brooks: 'What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting
    down and a dog does on three legs?'
    Harry: 'Shake hands.'
    The principal is now trembling with apprehension as Ms. Brooks asks the
    last question??
    Ms. Brooks: 'What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' and indicates
    a great deal of heat and excitement?'
    Harry: 'Firetruck.'
    The principal breaths a huge sigh of relief and tells the
    teacher, 'Put the little bastard in 5th-Grade, I got the last seven
    questions wrong myself...'
