Welcome to The Professor’s Comedy Corner. This is the fourth in a series of humorous stories and jokes written by Professor Ron Shaw exclusively for the Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Journal . My granddaughter, Sarah, is in 1st grade in Mrs. Freedman’s class. One day, Mrs. Freedman asked Sarah if she knew her numbers. “Yes,” replied Sarah. “My grandfather taught me.” “Great. What comes after 3?” asks the teacher. “Four.” answers the young student. “What comes after 6?” asks Mrs. Freedman. “Seven.” responds Sarah. “Very good” says Mrs. Freedman. “Your grandfather did a great job.” “What comes after 10”? asks the teacher. Sarah replies, “A jack.” Professor Ron Shaw is a former corporate banker and university professor. He writes and performs comedy at corporate and university events such as conferences and seminars, training sessions, trade shows and industry programs, corporate retreats and outings, sales meetings and team building workshops.
