The 8th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, "Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?"
No one answered until little Mary stood up angrily and said, "You should not be asking eighth-graders a question like that! I'm going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!" With a sneer on her face, she then sat back down.
Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again: "Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?"
Little Mary's mouth fell open. She said to those around her, "Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!"
The teacher continued to ignore her and asked the class, "Anybody?"
Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and replied, "The body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye."
"Very good, Billy," said Mrs. Parks. Then, turning to Mary, she said: "As for you, young lady, I have three things to say. One, you have a dirty mind. Two, you didn't read your homework. And three, one day you are going to be very, very disappointed."

Stella, I mean pupil is not pat of the body it is a part of the eye. Even the eye is not part of the body, it is part of the head. Head is still not a part of the body. www.stlukeseye.com/anatomy/Pupil.asp The joke is very funny but confusing too with "part of the body". ;D

Hmmm ALICE, just wondering, science was never one of my strong points, WHAT parts of the body are body parts then ?? Inquiring minds would love to know
Guess the schools aren't aware of this either cause when Chris was young they said he knew all his body parts and they included the eyes, Hmmmm
LAURA, ROFLOL THANKS for the laugh girl ;D
JACKIE, alls I can say is OUCH, hope you are feeling better soon.

The joke is cute....I also was not aware that the eye is not part of the body or the head for that matter but then again we call it an eye and we call it a head and neck and arms and legs and then all that is left is the body or torso ?

Ooops In English "body" has many meanings and one of them: the whole human is a body. So, eye is a part of the human body. Alice P.S. Jackie, hope you feel better soon.
