A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, “Everyone who thinks they’re stupid, stand up!”

After a few seconds, little Davie stood up. The teacher said,

— Do you think you’re stupid, Davie ?”

— Well, no, ma’am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!
