Subject: 2nd Graders (mildly crude, but hilarious).

There was a class of second graders.  For their assignment, the teacher
decided that they would draw a class picture, where each pupil draws
something on the picture, then hands it to the next pupil who will add to
it.  So the teacher starts off by giving the blank sheet of paper to
little Mary, the star student, and she draws this:
                               ____
                              |soap|
                              `----'

The teacher says, "That's very nice, Mary.  What is it?" [daa...].  Mary
explains that it's a bar of soap.  "Okay, now hand over the paper and
crayons to Timmy and let him draw something."  Mary complies, and gives
the junk to Timmy, who thinks for awhile, then adds to the picture as
follows:
                                /^\
                             /       \
                           /|  ____   |\
                            | |soap|  |
                            | `----'  |

Again the teacher inquires, "What's that, Timmy?"  Timmy says, "That's the
house that the bar of soap is in."  The teacher acknowledges, telling him
how nice it is, and to pass it on to the next pupil.

The next pupil receives the supplies, scratches his head, then adds to the
picture as follows:
                                /^\
                             /(     )\
                           /|  `\./'  |\
                            |  ____   |
                            | |soap|  |
                            | `----'  |

The teacher is kind of confused by this, and asks the child to explain his
work.  "That's the snow that's on top of the house that the bar of soap is
in."  The teacher exclaims, "Oh!  I see.  That's very nice."  Again the
supplies are passed on to the next student, who proceeds to add to the
picture
as follows:
                               \ | /
                              - ( ) -
                               / | \

                                /^\
                             /(     )\
                           /|  `\./'  |\
                            |  ____   |
                            | |soap|  |
                            | `----'  |

When asked to explain the picture, the pupil remarked, "That's the sun
that's
melting the snow that's on top of the house that the bar of soap is in."
The
teacher exclaims, "That's very nice," and is very pleased with the way the
class picture is progressing.  Then it's... well... let's say it's John's
turn
to add to the picture (since that's my name).  John receives the picture
and
crayons, then makes the following addition to the class picture:
                             _________
                        _.-/           \-._
                      _/                   \_
                     /         \ | /         \
                    |         - ( ) -         |
                   |           / | \           |
                  |                             |
                   |            /^\            |
                    |        /(     )\        |
                     \     /|  `\./'  |\     /
                       \    |  ____   |    /
                    _____\  | |soap|  |  /_____
                   (________| `----'  |________)

The teacher looks at the picture with a blank stare, not being able to
figure
out the significance, so she asks John to explain.  John responds, "That's
my
dad when he drops the bar of soap in the shower!"
