How Much Is Five Plus Five?
when BadFisherman was a lad he was sitting in math class when suddenly his teacher asked him BF, How much is 2 + 2? BF, caught off guard, begins counting his fingers under the table mumbling to himself: 2plus2, before happily exclaiming The answer is four!
Thats correct, answered his teacher, but I saw you counting your fingers instead of doing the math in your head. So I want you to put your hands behind your back and tell me what do you get if you add 3 + 3?
Slat put his hands behind his back, but his teacher saw that he was still moving uncomfortably as if he were trying to count fingers. After a few moments he said uncertainly, "is the answer six?""You are correct," she replied, "but I see you're still counting fingers despite me asking you not to! Put your hands in your pant pockets and tell me what you get if you add 5 + 5." Slat put his hands in his pants and his teacher saw him looking at his pants and moving his lips without uttering a word until finally the teacher became impatient and said: "I see what you're doing there and I can tell you right now that the answer is not eleven!"
That same day bb got home from school and had to tell his dad that he had gotten an F in math.
Why? his father asked.
BB told his dad the previous story. And
he told him that the teacher asked him what 3x5 is.
I told her 15.
That's right, said his dad.
Then she asked me what's 5x3.
Says dad, what's the f**kin difference?
Said bobby, that's exactly what I said.
