A class was given a homework assignment to find out something exciting and
relate it to the class the next day.
When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy the
teacher called on walked up to the front of the class.
He picked up a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and
sat back down.
Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was.
"It's a 'period'," he replied.
I can see that," said the teacher, "but what is so exciting about a
'period'?" "Darned if I know," said the boy, "but yesterday my sister was
missing one, Mom fainted, Dad had a heart attack and the boy next door
joined the Navy."
