Little Timmy is at school. His teacher asks the class

"OK, there are three birds sat on a fence and a famer comes and shoots the one in the middle. How many birds are left?
Timmy answers,
"None. If the farmer shoots the one in the middle, he would scare the others off".
"No, Timmy, I'm sorry, the answer is 2. 3 minus 1 is 2, but I really like you're way of reasoning."
Timmy replies
"Well Miss, if there are three women sitting on a fence eating an ice-cream and the one on the left is nibbling the cone, the one on the right licking the tentatively ice-cream while the one in the middle is sucking hard at the top of the icecream, which one would you say is married?"
The teacher blushes and stuttering, answers,
"Well, I suppose the one in the middle, Timmy".
"No", says Timmy, "the one that's wearing the wedding ring, but I really like your way of reasoning!"
