Geography Lesson

Teacher says to Melissa 'Where's the Eiffel Tower, Melissa?'
'I don't fuckin' know, do I? Weren't me as nicked it.'
'Right, you bring your mother in tomorrow. I'm telling her you said that'.

So next day Melissa's mother comes to see the teacher
'Why did you want to see me, Miss Smith?'
'Your daughter, when I asked her where the Eiffel Tower was, told me, and these were her exact words: 'I don't fuckin' know, do I? Weren't me as nicked it.'

'Well, Miss Smith, she's been going through a hard time what with her Dad beein' took off to prison and all, but I can tell you this. Whether she nicked it, or whether she didn't nick it, she didn't bring it 'ome, at any rate.'

In dismay, Miss Smith goes walking down the corridor shaking her head. The headmaster sees her and says, 'What ever is the matter?'

'Well, Mr. Parkins, I just can't get over the ignorance of some of the children in my class and their parents. When I asked Melissa Kelly where the Eiffel Tower was she said she didn't know because she hadn't stolen it, and then her mother tells me that she doesn't know whether or not she stole it, but she didn't take it home. I mean, I ask you!'

'Hmmn, yes Miss Smith. I think we have a definite problem. Isn't Melissa Kelly that ginger haired girl with the pierced nose?'

'Yes, headmaster, that's her'

'Well it's beyond hope then. If she's got it that's the last you'll see of it.'
