Joke of the week [282 = year 6, #22]  Teaching science (December 10 - December 16)

The science teacher explained to his class that long waves can go around objects but short waves cannot. Seeing blank faces, he picked up his hat, held it in front of his face and asked the nearest pupil: "Can you see my face?" "No, sir", the pupil answered. Then the teacher asked: "Can you hear my voice?" and the pupil answered: "Yes, sir." Then the teacher continued: "What does that show?" He hoped, of course, for the answer that sound waves are long and light waves are short, but the boy just replied: "You're talking through your hat, sir."  [for the idiom "to talk through one's hat" go to: www.woxikon.de/eng/talk%20through%20one's%20hat.php ]
