A touch of humour: Little Johnny Jones joke.

In the English literature class, the teacher asks this question: "What was the name of Shakespeare's wife?"
No pupil seems to know the answer. Suddenly, Little Johnny Jones puts up his hand and says: "I know, Sir: It was Mrs Shakespeare."

Note: Shakespeare' wife's name was Anne Hathaway.

Adapted from Grammar and Humour, Learn English with a Smile, by José Merino, Anglo-Didáctica, p. 11.

Everything goes well for a while:
Charlie: "Mistress, number one."
Bob: "Mistress, number two."
Lizzie: "Mistress, number one."
etc.
But one day Little Johnny Jones puts his hand up and shouts: "Mistress, quick give me a number, I have to fart."
