No Teeth
Parents bought their son a bicycle and were watching proudly as he rode around and around the block. On his first round he shouted: “Look, Dad, no hands!”
The second time around: “Look, Dad, no feet!”
And the third time: “Look, Dad, no teeth!”
The Way Out
John Brown was never sure of his grammar. One day he remembered that the New Year was coming and he decided to give his wife a present of two geese. So he took a sheet of paper and began to write an order to a shopkeeper. And here the difficulty began: Mr. Brown could not recollect the plural of the noun goose. He knew very well the plural of foot is feet and the plural of tooth is teeth but he didn’t know the plural of goose. He only remembered from his school days that he had to be careful with the word goose. At first he wrote, “Please, send me two geeses.” Again the sentence did not sound right. He could not recollect the correct plural of the noun goose and he did not want to go and ask his wife. Suddenly he got a bright idea. He took a new sheet of paper and wrote, “Please, send me a goose.” And at the bottom of the sheet he added a postscript, “P.S. Send another one with it.”
