    Nice joke I received today.
    Best Regards

    Little Zachary, a Jewish kid, was doing very badly in math. His parents
    had tried everything: tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning
    centres, in short, everything they could think of to help his math!
    Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him
    in the local Catholic school.

    After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look
    on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went
    straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread
    out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother
    was amazed. She called him down to dinner and, to her shock, the minute
    he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time,
    he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some
    time, while day after day the mother tried to understand what made all
    the difference.

    Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He quietly laid it
    on the table, went up to his room, and hit the books. With great
    trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, little
    Zachary got an "A" in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She
    went to his room and said: "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?"

    Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no.

    "Well then," she replied, "was it the books, the discipline, the
    structure, the uniforms? WHAT was it?"

    Little Zachary looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of
    school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't
    fooling around."
