HOLIDAY HUMOR

["JOHN AYERS" <ayers@bypass.com>]

An elementary school teacher was going through
the annual ritual of accepting Christmas gifts from 
her students.

The first little boy brought her a box, and since she 
knew his father owned a candy store, she knew it
was chocolates.

Next a little girl, who's father owned a florist shop,
brought her flowers.

The next little boy brought her a heavier, unmarked
box, but she knew his father owned a liquor store.
Then she noticed that the box was leaking.  She 
dipped her finger in the liquid and tasted it.

"Is it wine?", she asked the little boy.

"No teacher", he replied.

She tasted it again. "Is it champagne?".

"No teacher", he replied.

As she tasted it a third time, the obviously
agitated little box exclaimed:


"Teacher,  it's a PUPPY!!".x
