A young pretty female school teacher had been telling her class about the value of being observant and said, "Now children, look at this grandfather clock; what does the clock have that I have too?" One little girl stood up and said, "It has a face." Another girl raised her hand and said, "It has hands." "Wonderful," said the teacher. "Now what does the clock have that I don't?" After a long silence, a little boy rose and said, "I'm pretty sure you don't have a pendulum!"
