What is heavier, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers???

No fair. That has a real, logical answer.

You don't get down from an elephant, you get down from a goose.

Roosters don’t lay eggs.

Transphobe. How do you know he doesn't feel like a hen inside? You're supposed to play along.

The correct answer is,

In order to insure that the shepherd is not discriminating against the sheep through the homocentric imposition of his will, vis-a-vis the dogs, and to ensure the a non-specie hostile workplace environment is protected, a blue ribbon panel should be convened to examine the alternatives to the practice of shepherding in general, the inequity of duties required of the dogs, and the deprivation of wool from the flock without their express consent. To preserve the integrity of the investigation the consumption of lamb will be prohibited and no questions will be taken until the relevant parties submit their briefs.

Makes as much sense as this other CC problem:

A girl wants to give each of her friends stickers. How many stickers does she buy so she won’t have any left over?

I guess no one noticed that the number of friends she had was omitted or it just didn’t matter????

This is by far the least idiotic thing I’ve seen attributed to “Common Core.”

Most of what I’ve seen is teaching children to do math in completely dysfunctional, inefficient ways that I invented for myself long after I developed a Math Block in the second grade.
