A boy comes back from school, disappointed because he got a 0 on a geography exam. “The teacher gave me a zero because I couldn’t answer a question on Portugal,” he said.

His mother asked, “What was the question? “Where’s Portugal.”

“The idiot teacher, I’m going to call the principal’s office. In the meantime, we’re going to find where Portugal is.” She gets a map of the state and can’t find Portugal. Then she gets a map of the region and still can’t find Portugal. She gets a map of the city and can’t find Portugal.

“I swear Portugal can’t be far. The maid is from Portugal and she comes here to work every day on her bicycle.”
