The Football Exam

Two football players were taking an important final exam. If they failed, they
would be on academic probation and not allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl the
following week. The exam was fill-in-the-blank. The last question read, "Old
MacDonald had a _________."


Bubba was stumped. He had no idea of the answer. He knew he needed to get this
one right to be sure he passed. Making sure the professor wasn't watching, he
tapped Tiny on the shoulder. "Pssst. Tiny. What's the answer to the last
question?"


Tiny laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor hadn't noticed then
he turned to Bubba. "Bubba, you're so stupid. Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a
farm."


"Oh yeah," said Bubba. "I remember now." He picked up his No. 2 pencil and
started to write the answer in the blank. He stopped. Reaching to tap Tiny's
shoulder again, he whispered, "Tiny, how do you spell farm?"


"You are really dumb, Bubba. That's so easy. Farm is spelled E-I-E-I-O."
