This story is about the value of and the problems caused by a #2 pencil. 
 
Little Mary Margaret was not the livliest student in Catholic
School; usually she slept through religion class. 
 
One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was
half awake"Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?'' 
When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend
sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.
'God Almighty!' shouted Mary Margaret. 
The Nun said, 'Very good' and continued teaching her class. 

 A little later, still believing Mary Margaret wasn't paying attention, 'Who is our Lord and Savior?' But Mary didn't stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck Mary Margaret in the butt. 'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Mary Margaret and the Nun once again said, 'Very good,' and Mary Margaret fell back into a slumber.

Later, the Nun asked her a third question...just to be sure she was
paying attention. 'What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?' Again, Johnny came to the rescue with a quick, hard jab.
This time, Mary Margaret jumped up and shouted at Johnny while looking at the Nun, 'If you stick that thing at me one more time, I'll break it in half!'

The Nun fainted........
