Run for the Roses

I know you have probably already heard this joke, but I thought I'd post it in honor of the Kentucky Derby.

A group of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack (Churchill Downs) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon), but mostly to see the horses.

When it was time to take the children to the bathroom it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the
urinal.

Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one holding on to their "wee-wees" to direct the flow away from their clothes.

As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring the teacher said, "You must be in the 5th grade."

"No, ma'am, "he replied. "I'm the jockey riding Silver Arrow in the seventh."


Har har har. I suppose congratulations are due to Smarty Jones (the horse) and Stewart Elliott (the rider) who won in the big race today.
