First day of school

On his first day of school at Charles Dickens Elementary, the teacher had Richard stand in front of the class while she introduced him, "Now children, this is Richard. He's moved here all the way from Florida! Let's make sure we all make him feel welcome, etc. etc." Then she called on a big boy, six inches taller than Richard, to come up to the front of the class as well. "Richard this is Clark." Clark was clearly one of those angelic nine year old's that grow-ups instinctively trust. "Clark I want you to show Richard around today," the teacher said. "Now Richard I want you to follow Clark. You go everywhere that Clark goes. Just stick with him and follow him around." Richard, terrified of being at yet another new school, nodded. Then as Clark went back to his desk, Richard's innate sense of comedy kicked in and he followed Clark back to Clark's chair. The whole class burst out laughing and Richard was very embarrassed and ashamed. But it had been funny.
