It was show and tell day in little Johnny's class.

After all the other kids had shown their projects, the teacher says

'OK Johnny, what have you brought to show the class?'

'I've brought my pet spider miss, I trained him myself'

Johnny fishes into his pocket and brings out a small tin, he opens it and takes out a big spider and puts it on his desk.

Johnny then says 'Spider walk ahead'.

The spider starts walking ahead.

Johnny says 'Spider walk right'.

The spider starts walking to the right.

Johnny says 'Spider walk left'.

The spider walks to the left.

The teacher and the rest of the children are astounded.

Johnny then picks up the spider and quickly pulls off all it's legs and places what's left of the spider back on the desk.

Johnny then says 'Spider walk ahead'.

The spider just sits there and does nothing.

Johnny says 'Spider walk right'.

The spider does nothing

Johnny says 'Spider walk left'.

The spider does nothing.

The teacher then says 'Johnny, that was a terribly cruel thing to do, and besides, what does it prove?'

Johnny says 'Well miss, it proves that when you pull the legs off a spider, they go deaf'

Thanks Dr. PP. Just trying to make up for being a "party-pooper" on the Cannon-balls thread.
