A first grade school teacher in Virginia had twenty-five students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.

It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first graders,
6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

Found one....

A magician named Don worked on a cruise ship.

The audience was different each week so Don did the same tricks over and over again.

There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how Don did every trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, "Look, It’s not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" Or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"

Don was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the Captain's parrot.

Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were on board. Don luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it ... With the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word.

This went on for a day... And then 2 days. And then 3 days. Finally on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said...

"OK, I give up. Where's the .....' ship?"

A boy of sixteen who had signed up for Drivers Ed., asked his Dad when he could drive. His Dad replied; Not until you start studying in school and raise your grades from Cs to Bs, read the Bible each week, and cut your hair.

By the next grade period the boy showed his Dad that his Cs were indeed now Bs, and had been reading the Bible every week. He said in all my reading the Bible I found that Moses, Samson, Jesus, all the prophets had long hair so why do I need to cut my hair to drive?

His Dad replied; yeah, and they walked every where.

The boy showed up for dinner with his hair cut.

heehee! Smart Dad! :)

This one is aimed at Mid Ranks, not Top Brass. We have 14 Admirals at our paper pusher base, when it was a training base it had 1!
