A Boy Comes Back From School

A boy comes back from school, disappointed, because he got a

0 on a geography exam. “The teacher gave me a zero because

I couldn’t answer a question on Portugal,” he said. His

mother asked, “What was the question?” “Where’s

Portugal.” “The idiot teacher, I’m going to call the

principal’s office. In the meantime we’re going to find

where Portugal is.” She gets a map of the state and

can’t find Portugal. Then she gets a map of the region and

still can’t find Portugal. She gets a map of the city and

can’t find Portugal. “I swear Portugal can’t be far.

The maid is from Portugal and she comes here to work

everyday on her bicycle.”
