Found on Jerry Pournelle's site
=================

My five-year old students, are learning to read.

Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,

"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"

I took a deep breath, then asked..."What did you call it?"

"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"

And so it does...


" A f r i c a n Elephant "

Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful

The terminally alcoholic landlord in one of the local pubs I go to told me this story a few days ago. He claimed that the teacher who it happened to was his friends sister.
