Math Assembly at School

There was an assembly at the School for the Gifted Blonde
tomorrow. The principal had hired a mathmetician to come in and
instruct about how math can be fun. When these teenage blondes
found this out, they went home and practiced their math facts,
hoping they would win a prize for getting the most problems
right.


The next morning when the mathmatician came in for the assembly,
all the girls were chatting. As soon as he stepped on stage,
silence fell over the room.


The mathmatician introduced himself and explained how math can
be fun. At the end of his speeches, he asked the crowd, "Now
girls, I know you have all been practicing math. That's why I
decided I am going to allow one lady up on stage to answer some
math problems. How about that young lady in the back."


She stood up and walked to the stage. Her name was Marie.
"Hello Marie." The Mathmaician said. "Now, what's 2+2?"


Marie thought for a moment, "5?" she said in an unsure voice.
'Give her another try, give her another try.' The crowd cheered.


"Alright, that was close. What is 3+3?"


Marie thought a little longer this time. She was using her
fingers. "Ummmmm.....5?"


The crowd cheered, 'Give her another try, Give her another try!'


"That was closer, Marie. Let's try another. What is 2+3?"


Marie thought long and hard on this one. Five minutes had past.
The crowd was still silent. Marie finally said, "Ummm... I
blieve it's 5."


The blonde crowd cheered, 'Give her another try, Give her
another try!'
