Little Johnny always did badly in math and his mother was very frustrated. She and her husband tried everything they could, flash cards, tutors, etc. However, they could never quite get him to understand math and study hard. As a last resort, his mother sent him to a Catholic school. When he came home from school, he ran straight up to his room and started studying. As she called him down for dinner, he ate quickly and ran up the stairs to study more. After studying, he went straight to bed. This occurred for two months. Finally, one day Johnny brought her his report card. She looked at it and he had an A+ in math. Very surprised, she could not wait to ask him a question. "Johnny, what was it, what made you finally work so hard?" He looked at her and seriously answered, "Well, as soon as I walked in and saw the guy stuck on the plus sign, I knew they meant business."
