MOTIVATION!!

Little Tommy( who was Jewish), was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything: tutors, extra books, advanced calculators, etc. They had tried everything they could think of. Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Tommy down to the local Catholic school and enrolled him there.

After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went immediately to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work on his math homework.

His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he was finished eating he marched back up to his room—without a word to anyone. Instantly he was back to hitting the books as hard as before.

This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what had made all the difference. Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table and went up to his room to study his day’s lessons.

With great trepidation, his mom looked at the report card and to her surprise, Tommy had gotten an ‘A’ in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, “Son, What was it? Was it the nuns?”

Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head. “No”, he answered.

“Well, then”, she replied, “was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHHHHAAAAATTTT was it?????”

Tommy looked up at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren’t fooling around.”
