Little Timmy was struggling very hard with his math classes

Little Timmy was struggling very hard with his math classes. His parents did everything and anything to help their son...private tutors, teacher meetings, and even asking the local Asian kid. Nothing worked.

Finally, in a last ditch effort they enrolled him into a small Catholic school to see if the nun's strict curriculum would do the trick.

At the end of the first day of school the boy walked in with a stern expression on his face, and walked right past the parents and went straight to his room - and quietly closed the door. For nearly two hours he toiled away in his room, only emerging long enough to eat, and after quickly cleaning his plate, heading straight back to his room, working feverishly at his studies until bedtime.

This continued for weeks until the first quarter report card came out. The parents anxiously opened the letter, and to their amazement they saw a bright red "A" under the subject, MATH.

Overjoyed, they both rushed into their son's room, thrilled at the remarkable progress of their young son!

"Was it the nuns that did it?", the father asked. The boy only shook his head and said, "No." "Was it the one-on-one tutoring? The Asian kid?", asked the mother. Again, the boy shrugged, "No." Both parents asked in unison, "What was it then?"

He solemnly answered, "When I walked into the lobby, and I saw that guy they'd nailed to the plus sign, I knew those people meant business!"
