There once was a third grader named Jimmy. Every time the teacher would say something, Jimmy would say, “How about that!”

One day, the teacher said, “And then George Washington crossed the Delaware.”

Jimmy said, “How about that!”

The teacher told Jimmy, “If you say that one more time, you are going out into the hall, mister!”

To that, Jimmy replied, “,Well, how about that!”

Taking him by the arm, the teacher marched Jimmy into the hall and said, “While you’re out here, I want you to write a poem to tell the class.”

Twenty minutes later, the teacher came out to get Jimmy and said, “Before we go back in, I want to hear your poem.”

Jimmy said, “As I stood in the hall, I saw a cockroach go up the wall. How about that!”

The teacher said, “That’s fine, Jimmy, but I want you to leave the cock out.”

She took him back into the classroom and announced that Jimmy had a poem for the class.

Jimmy stood up and said, “As I stood in the hall, I saw a roach go up the wall with his cock out. How about that!”
