There are some people who know what they want to be from the time they are very young. We all tend to have an idea, but aside from most boys wanting to be firemen and most girls wanting to be nurses, there are those who have a calling.

That is the case with many teachers. Not only do they enjoy the job they have, they also find it to be rewarding on a much deeper level as well. It doesn’t mean that there are no problems, they just tend to take them in stride.

That is one of the reasons why we find the following joke to be so funny. Not only does it involve a teacher who is trying to teach the class, she ends up getting more than she expected from Little Johnny.

One day, during lessons on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands from those who could use the word ‘beautiful’ in the same sentence twice.

First, he called on little Suzie, who responded with, ‘My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it.’

‘Very good, Suzie,’ replied the teacher.

He then called on little Michael.

‘My mummy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out beautifully.’

‘Excellent, Michael!’, he said

Then the teacher reluctantly called on little Johnny.

“Last night at the dinner table the election results finally came out and my dad said,

‘Beautiful, just f***in’ beautiful!’”
