> The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions?"

> The principal and Harry both agree.

>

> Harry, after a moment, "Legs."

>

> Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

> The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop

>

> Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"

>

> Harry: "Pants"

>

> Teacher: "What starts with an 'F' and ends in K' that means a lot
