Arith Jokes

A hillbilly dragged his protesting son to a new school which had just opened in a nearby village. When they arrived, he took his son to see the teacher.' Howdy,' said the hillbilly.' This here's my son, Arthur. Now what kind of learnin' are you teachin'?
' Oh, all the usual subjects,' said the teacher, nodding at the boy.' Reading, writing, arithmetic.'
' What's this? ' interrupted the father.' Arith.... arith... what did you say?'' Arithmetic, Sir,' said the teacher,' instruction in geometry, algebra and trigonometry.'
' Trigonometry!' cried the delighted hillbilly.' That's what my boy needs. He's the worst darn shot in the family.'
