It was the first day of Grade Three in a new town for Johnny.
 
 As a test, his teacher went around the room and asked each of the
 students to count to 50. Some did very well, counting as high as
 30 or 40 with just a few mistakes. Others couldn't get past 20.
 Johnny, however, did extremely well; he counted past 50, right up
 to 100 without any mistakes.
 
 He was so excited that he ran home and told his Dad how well he
 had done. His Dad nodded and told him, "That's because you are
 from Alabama, son."
 
 The next day, in language class, the teacher asked the students to
 recite the alphabet. It's Grade Three, so most could make it half
 way through without much trouble. Some made it to S or T, but
 Johnny rattled off the alphabet perfectly right to the end.
 
 That evening, Johnny once again bragged to his Dad about his
 prowess in his new school. His Dad, knowingly, explained to him,
 "That's because you are from Alabama, son."
 
 The next day, after Physical Education, the boys were taking
 showers. Johnny noted that, compared to the other boys in his
 grade, he seemed overly "well endowed". This confused him. That
 night he told his Dad. "Dad, they all have little tiny ones, but
 mine is ten times bigger than theirs.
 
 "Is that because I'm from Alabama?" he asked.
 
 "No, son," explained his Dad, "That's because you're 18."
