IJMC - Mrs. Smith Gets What She Expects

Sometimes, waiting for something you know will turn out bad is worse than 
if you had just gotten over it to start with. That's about all I'll say 
on tonight's post, although, if you were wondering, the Rare Book 
Cataloguer ended up tying Ben Stein. I now know what happens when you tie 
him instead of beat him or lose (extra $1000, but not the full $5000). 
Just to mention though, I've never seen Stein look that nervous before! 
He was all over himself; almost completely cowed.                   -dave




      Mrs Smith, a third grade teacher wanted the
      class to play a game where one student starts
      drawing on the board, then one by one others add to it.

      She thinks, and decides not to start with Johnny,
      because he is so naughty and always have some "unusual" picture in
      mind.

      So she starts with Jane.
      Jane: "This is our House"

                    /\
                   /  \
                  /    \
                 /      \
                 |      |
                 |      |
                 |      |
                 |      |

      The teacher: "Good, Jane!"  and asks Peter to draw next:


      Peter: "This is our Housedoor"

                    /\
                   /  \
                  /    \
                 /      \
                 |      |
                 |  _   |
                 | | |  |
                 | |_|  |



      The teacher: "Very good, Peter" and calls Mary:

      Mary: "This is our house roof"

                    /\
                   /UU\
                  /    \
                 /      \
                 |      |
                 |  _   |
                 | | |  |
                 | |_|  |



      The teacher: "Very nice, Mary" and calls on Stevie:

      Stevie: "And this is the sun over the house."

                    -O-

                    /\
                   /UU\
                  /    \
                 /      \
                 |      |
                 |  _   |
                 | | |  |
                 | |_|  |



      The teacher: "very nice, Stevie" and thinks, there is
      not much damage that Johnny can do with this picture and asks
      Johnny to come to the board.

      Johnny: "And this is my dad, trying to pick up the
      soap when he dropped it in the shower.
