On the first day of third grade, Miss Torch took roll call. When the new boy in town was asked his name, he replied;
 
 "My name is Johnny Fugkhauer," . 


"I won't tolerate such language in my class", Miss Torch fumed. "Tell me your real name." 


"That is my real name," Johnny insisted. "You can ask my brother over in the fourth grade." 


The determined teacher marched across the hall. 


"Do you have a "Fugkhauer" in here?" Miss Torch yelled to the class. 


"Heck no," a bold lad retorted. "We don't even get a cookie break!"
