Lucy says, "Just before the test began, our teacher goes, 'Does everyone have a pencil?'"<BR><BR> Lucy continues, "This fat kid across the aisle from me goes, 'I don't!'"<BR><BR> Lucy says, "Then this other kid with the glasses goes, 'Sure you do . . . You have mine!'"<BR><BR> Charlie Brown asks, "Whatever happened to the word 'Said'?"<BR><BR>
