Old Father Murphy made it a point to visit each classroom at the parochial school once a week. He stopped into the fourth grade class just as they were finishing a discussion of the U.S. states.
“Well, how many states can you all name?” asked Father Murphy.
The kids shouted out answers, but only came up with about 40.
“When I was a boy, students could name every state!” joked Father Murphy.
Little Johnny raised his hand and said,
“Yes, but back then, there were only thirteen!”
