Professor:
Now, is there anyone here who can tell me why most alligators are abnormally aggressive?
Bobby:
[Quietly, to Derek] I know the answer to this question.
Derek:
Raise your hand.
Professor:
Anybody? Anyone? [points to Bobby] Yessee you, sir.
Bobby:
[standing up] Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth but no toothbrush.
[The entire class laughs as Bobby sits down next to an embarrassed Derek. Even the professor is laughing.]
Professor:
Mama says alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush? Wow!
[The class briefly laughs again]
Professor:
Is there anybody else? Yessee you, sir.
Student:
Alligators are agressive because of an enlargement - medulla oblongata. It's the sector of the brain that controls the aggressive behavor.
Professor:
That is correct! The medulla oblongata!
Bobby:
[starting to rise again] But mama say that-
Professor:
The medulla oblongata... [Bobby sits back down] ...is where anger, jealosy, and aggression come from. Now, is there anybody here who can tell me where happiness comes from?
[Bobby raises his hand again as Derek tries to push his hand down telling him no, but...too late. Professor has already seen it.]
Professor:
Alright. Let's here what mama has to say on the subject.
Bobby:
[rising again] Mama say that happiness is from magic rays of sunshine that come down when you're feeling blue.
[Once again, everybody laughs]
Professor:
Well folks...mama's wrong again!
[Class laughs again]
Bobby:
No, Colonol Sanders, you're wrong. [Class goes "ooohhh..." on this, until...] Mama's right!
[The class breaks back into laughing. Bobby runs for the door.]
Bobby:
You're all wrong! Mama's right! Mama's right!
Professor:
Something's wrong with his medulla oblongata!
[Everyone continues laughing until an enraged Bobby knocks the professor to the ground, shocking everyone.]
