[LM_NET] Freshman humor

[David Lininger <tigerlibrarian@GMAIL.COM>]

Our freshmen/sophomore English teacher just sent this.

OK - here's something to make you chuckle:

English I was writing a short report, and I said that they could not use 
1st or 2nd person pronouns, which led to a whole discussion about when 
to use which person. Everyone settled down to write, and one of the boys 
raised his hand, so I went over to him, and he asked, "So what is 4th 
person?"

"There's not a 4th person."

"But if there was, what would it be called?"

"Well, there's not a fourth person."

"But if there was . . ?"

"But there's not."

Pause.

"Well, why not?"
