The teacher was giving her pupils a quiz on counting. Jackie got things started by counting from 1 to 10. “Now, Fred,” said the teacher, “you take over, beginning with 11.””11, 14, 23, 42, 26,” said Fred.”What kind of counting is that’?” asked the teacher”Who’s counting’?” replied Fred. “I’m calling signals.”

Jackie stood quietly as her father examined her report card.”What is this 45 in math?” asked her father.”I think that’s the size of the class,” she said quickly!
