Little Johnny had been sitting quietly at his desk, trying his best to pay attention to the lesson. The teacher was droning on about fractions, and Johnny’s mind was wandering as usual. Suddenly, without warning, a small but unmistakable fart escaped. The sound echoed slightly in the quiet classroom. Heads turned. A few students stifled giggles. The teacher’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Johnny!” the teacher exclaimed, her voice sharp with irritation. “That is completely unacceptable! Out! Right now!”
Johnny, unfazed and slightly amused, grabbed his backpack and slung it over his shoulder, trying not to laugh as he stepped out the door.
A Laugh Outside
Once outside, Johnny found a quiet spot near the hallway window. He couldn’t help it—he burst into uncontrollable laughter. The giggles escalated into full-blown laughter, tears welling up in his eyes. Passersby glanced at him curiously, wondering what could possibly be so funny.
Encounter with the Principal
Just then, the principal walked by, his morning coffee in hand. He paused when he saw Johnny doubled over in laughter.
“Johnny, what on earth are you laughing at?” the principal asked, raising an eyebrow.
Johnny wiped tears from his eyes and tried to catch his breath. “Well… I, uh…” he stammered.
Johnny’s Explanation
Finally, between chuckles, Johnny managed to explain, “I farted in class… and the teacher got so mad that she threw me out!”
The principal tilted his head, puzzled. “I see… but that doesn’t explain why you’re laughing so hysterically.”
The Principal’s Confusion
Johnny’s laughter subsided just enough for the principal to press further. “Are you mocking your teacher?” he asked cautiously.
Johnny shook his head, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. “No, sir. I’m just… enjoying the situation.”
Johnny’s Retort
“And what situation is that?” the principal asked, leaning against the hallway wall, curious despite himself.
Johnny straightened up, trying to look serious but failing spectacularly. “Because those idiots are stuck in the classroom, smelling my fart while I’m out here enjoying the fresh air!”
The principal blinked, unsure whether to scold him or laugh. Johnny, of course, simply returned to his spot by the window and giggled quietly to himself, proud of his tiny victory.
