Little Johnny was in class and the teacher announced that they were going to try something different to help everyone get to know each other a little better and to help with their spelling. She explained: \u201cI want you to stand up and give us the occupation of your father, spell it, and say one thing he would give us all if he was here today.\u201d The first student raised her hand to volunteer.<\/p>\n
Marcy,\u201d the teacher said. \u201cYou may go first.\u201d Marcy replied: \u201cMy father is a banker. B-A-N-K-E-R and if he was here today, he would give us all a shiny new penny.\u201d The teacher said: \u201cVery nice, Marcy, who wants to go next?\u201d Kevin stood up and announced: \u201cMy father is a baker. B-A-K-E-R and if he was here today, he would give us all a freshly-baked cookie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The teacher called on little Johnny to go next. Johnny said: \u201cMy father is a bookie. B-O-O-K-I-E and if he was here today, he would give us all 20:1 odds Jeff will never be able to spell \u201caccountant.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
