A Clever Answer

During a geography lesson the teacher is telling the pupils about the north, the south, the east and the west. He says that when they face the north, the south is behind them, the east is on their right hand and the west is on their left hand. Then he sees that one of the boys, whose name is Johnny, is not listening.

The teacher asks him: “Johnny, stand up and tell me what is on your left hand.”

Johnny stands up and says, “There is some ink on it.”
