At the beginning of her next class, she said. "Hello children, I hope you are all very clever ! Are you?"
A few children said "Yes!", but most of the class said nothing.

For a few seconds no childen moved, but then Freddie stood up. 
"Ah Freddie, so you think you're stupid do you?"
"No Miss, not really," answered Freddie; "But you shouldn't be the only person standing up !"

7. Problem at the airport

Mr and Mrs Smith were going on holiday to Spain. As usual there was lots of traffic on the highway, and they only just got to the airport on time. They parked the car, got out their suitcases, and took the bus to the terminal. At last they reached the check-in desk.
   As they got there, Mr. Smith turned to his wife and said. "I wish I'd brought the piano with us !"
   "The piano ?!??" she replied. "Are you stupid? We can't take the piano on the plane."
   "No, I know. But I've just remembered that I left the tickets on the piano...."

8. More problems for Bill and Joe

Bill and Joe are driving their truck one day on a road in the country, when they come to another warning sign. It's another bridge, but this time it's a bridge over the road.  The sign says.  "Warning. Low Bridge ! Maximum height 4.2 metres! "
  "Oh no!" says Bill. "Height limit four point two metres !  And our lorry's four point four metres high.  We're twenty centimetres too high."
   "Oh that's not a problem," answers Joe.  "We can let the air out of the tyres, then we'll be 25 centimetres lower ! We can blow them up again at the other side of the bridge !"
   "Don't be an idiot, Joe, " Bill replies.  "That won't help ! The tyres are at the bottom of the lorry; and it's at top that we're too high for the bridge !"
