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."
