In true Christmas spirit I share this Australian story with you, wakakaka.
********
He was introduced to the class by the teacher.
She said to the class, "Let's show the inspector just how clever you are by allowing him to ask you a question".
She said to the class, "Let's show the inspector just how clever you are by allowing him to ask you a question".
The inspector reasoned that normally class starts with religious instruction, so he decided to ask a biblical question. He said: "Class, who broke down the walls of Jericho?"

For a full minute there was absolute silence. Eventually, little Billy raised his hand.
Billy answered: "Sir, I do not know who broke down the walls of Jericho, but I can assure you it wasn't me".
Of course the inspector was shocked by the answer and the lack of knowledge of the famous bible story and he looked at the teacher for an explanation.
Realising that he was perturbed, the teacher said soothingly: "Well, I've known Billy since the start of the year, and I believe that if he says that he didn't do it then he didn't do it".

The inspector was even more shocked at this and stormed down to the principal's office to tell him what happened, to which the principal replied: "I don't know the boy, but I believe his teacher. If she feels that the boy is innocent, then he must be innocent".
The inspector couldn't believe what he was hearing.
He grabbed the phone on the principal's desk and in a rage, dialled up the Premier of Queensland and rattled off the entire occurrence to him and asked what the Premier thought of the education standard in the State.
[In Australia, education is a state's responsibility; the premier of a state is equivalent to a Chief Minister but with more autonomous powers]
The Premier sighed heavily and replied:
"Look mate, I don't know the boy, the teacher or the principal, and never heard of the school, but just get three quotes and have the bloody wall fixed!"
