i thought i should share this joke after a hard days work!!!

A school inspector is assigned to the grade 4 class in one of the

>local schools

> He is introduced to the class by the teacher.

> She says to the class: "Let's show the inspector just how clever you

> are by allowing him to ask you a question".

>

> The inspector reasons that normally class starts with religious

> instruction, so he will ask a biblical question.

> He asks: "Class, who broke down the walls of Jericho?"

>

> For a full minute there is absolute silence.

> The children all just stare at him blankly. Eventually, Sipho raises

> his hand. The inspector excitedly Points to him.

> Sipho stands up and replies: "Sir, I do not know who broke down the

> walls of Jericho, but I can assure you it wasn't me".

> Of course the inspector is shocked by the answer and looks at the

> teacher for an explanation.

> Realizing that he is perturbed, the teacher says:

>

> "Well, I've known Sipho since the beginning of the year, and I believe

> that if he says that he didn't do it, then he didn't do it. "

>

> The inspector is even more shocked at this and storms down to the

> Principals office and tells him what happened, to which the principal

> Replies:

>

> " I don't know the boy, but I socialize every now and then with his

> Teacher, and I believe her. If she feels that the boy is innocent, then

> he must be innocent".

> The inspector can't believe what he is hearing. He grabs the phone on

> the Principal desk and in a rage dials the Minister of Education's

> telephone Number and rattles the entire occurrence to him and asks him

> what he thinks of the education standard in S.A.

> The Minister sighs heavily and replies:

>

> "I don't know the boy, the teacher nor the principal, but just get

> three quotes and have the damn wall fixed!!"
