After the first day, little Johnny came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and paper were spread out all over the room and Little Johnny was hard at work. His mother was amazed.
She called him down to dinner and, to her shock and amazement, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word and in no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day, while the Mother tried to understand what had made all the difference. Finally, little Johnny brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books.
With great trepidation, his mom looked at it and, to her surprise, little Johnny had gotten an 'A' in Math. She could no longer contain her curiosity.
She went to his room and said, "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?"
Little Johnny looked at her and shook his head.
"Well then," She persisted, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms, WHAT was it??"
Little Johnny looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."
