When Jerry was 4 years old (in fact, it was only a couple of weeks after last week's "pants" incident!) he went to a hot dog joint with mom and Jenny.

Now, mom was already telling Jerry about the need for a good education and Jerry knew what college was.

While standing in line, Jerry noticed an older lady working behind the counter. In his very loud voice he shouted, "Mom is that the kind of job you get if you don't go to college?".

Mom thought the UPS man in front of them was going to split his pants, he laughed so hard.
