Simply Assumptious!

Assumptions can be dangerous...as the following story shows..

On the last day of kindergarten, all the children brought presents for their
teacher. The florist's son handed the teacher a gift. She shook it, held it
up and said, "I bet I know what it is - it's some flowers!"

"That's right!" shouted the little boy.

Then the candy store owner's daughter handed the teacher a gift. She held
it up, shook it and said. "I bet I know what it is - it's a box of candy!"

"That's right!" shouted the little girl.

The next gift was from the liquor store owner's son. The teacher held it up
and saw that it was leaking. She touched a drop with her finger and tasted
it. "Is it wine?" she asked.

"No," the boy answered.

The teacher touched another drop to her tongue. "Is it champagne?", she
asked.

"No," the boy answered.

Finally, the teacher said, "I give up. What is it?"

The boy replied, "A puppy!"
