Old Joke Recycled

This is for my good friend Hoss who l.ikes discussing innane subjects like the animal kingdom's gestation periods. This was originally ran in February. But it still is funny.

A fifth grade teacher was explaining reproduction to her class one day and thought of a good way to get the point across to her pupils. She told them since a three day weekend was coming up the only homework she would have them do is take note when they are out and about over the weekend and to see if anyone could spot nature taking its course.

After the weekend the teacher asked if any of the students had seen anything over the weekend they wanted to share.

One little girl related how after school last Friday as she was walking home she saw one dog pushing another dog from behind.

The teacher chuckled and then explained how dogs reproduce and the gestation period and how dogs tend to have litters.

Anyone else she asked?

Another little girl proudly told of an incident at her grandparent's farm over the weekend and how she had seen three mallard ducks holding down a female duck and they were all ganging up on her. And how they were hurting the female duck.

Once again the teacher chuckled and told the class about the breeding habits of birds and how they lay eggs and so forth.

Anyone else?

A little spirited boy in the back of the room who had his hand up the whole time was finally called on.

"Yes teacher", he said, "Over the weekend I was watching an old movie with my dad and there were three indians on top of old John Wayne".

The teacher couldn't contain herself. She laughed and laughed. "No son she replied the were only fighting".

"Good" the boy replied. "I thought it would take more than three indians to fuck old John Wayne."
