Catholic Math

My friend Anand sent me this one. Hmm…

Little David, who was Jewish, was failing math. His parents tried
everything. Tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers,
and nothing helped. As a last resort, someone told them to try a
Catholic school.

“Those nuns are tough” they said.

David was soon enrolled at St. Mary’s. After school on the very first
day David ran through the door and straight to his room, without even
kissing his mother hello. He started studying furiously, books and
papers spread out over his room. Right after dinner he ran upstairs
without mentioning TV, and hit the books harder than before. His
parents were amazed.

This behavior continued for weeks, until report card day arrived.
David quietly laid the envelope on the table, and went to his room.
With great trepidation, his mother opened the report.

David had gotten an “A” in math!

She ran up to his room, threw her arms around him and asked, “David
honey, how did this happen? Was it the nuns?

“No!”, said David. “On the first day of school when I saw that guy
nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren’t fooling around!
