  2. A new teacher enters a classroom full of students.

    The teacher stands at the front of the room and greets the students, \”Good morning, class.\”

    None of the students say anything. One boy at the back of the classroom stands up, \”Good morning, teacher.\”

    Puzzled, the teacher carries on. The following morning, the same thing happens. Day after day goes by, and it\’s the same routine.

    One morning after greeting the class and the same student standing and greeting, the teacher has had enough, \”Why is it, that every time I walk in and greet the entire room, only you stand up and greet me?\”

    In the most broken English, the boy replies, \”Because I are the only one here, what\’s name are Klass\”
