Fairy Tales

My friend likes to read his two young sons fairy tales at night. Having a deep-rooted sense of humor, he often ad-libs parts of the stories for fun.

One day his youngest son was sitting in his first grade class as the teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to acquire building materials for his home. She said "...And so the pig went up to the man with a wheelbarrow full of straw and said 'Pardon me sir, but might I have some of that straw to build my house with?'" Then the teacher asked the class "And what do you think that man said?" and my friend's son raised his hand and said "I know! I know! He said 'Holy smokes! A talking Pig!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

Accountants and Pigs

So one day Johnny decides he wants to be an
accountant and goes in for an interview.

Tester: If I give you two Pigs, and two
pigs, and another two pigs, how
many pigs have you got?
Johnny: SEVEN!

Tester: No, listen carefully again. If I give
you two Pigs, and two pigs, and
another two pigs, how many pigs
have you got?
Johnny: SEVEN!

Tester: Let’s try this another way. If I give
you two bottles of beer, and two bottles of
beer, and another two bottles of beer, how
many bottles of beer have you got?
Johnny: SIX.

Tester : Good! Now, if I give you two Pigs,
and two pigs, and another two pigs,
how many pigs have you got?
Johnny: SEVEN!

Tester: How on Earth do you work out that
three lots of two pigs is seven?
Johnny: I’ve already got one Pig
at home now!
