- Geography Lesson
  
  The teacher called on Little Johnny to go to the map and point out where North America is. Little Johnny looked the map over, found North America, and proudly said, "Here it is, right here!"
  
  "Very good, Johnny," the teacher said. "Now, class, can you tell me who discovered North America?"
  
  "Little Johnny!" the students shouted.
