When my little brother's class teacher asked him to recite the two times table as a punishment for talking in class, he stood up and said:
''Duh-de-duh-de-duh, Du de du de du, de-du-de-duh-duh...''
''Stop!'' screamed his class teacher. ''WHAT was THAT?''
''I can remember the tune,'' said my little brother, ''but I can't remember the words''.
