The NEW 1ST GRADER from Scotland raised his hand saying "Teacher MAY I HAVE A RUBBER?"  The young female teacher was completely flustered and DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.  The boy was confused too.  Even better, when the SCHOOL PHONED HIS MOTHER...SHE COULDN'T IMAGINE WHY THE TEACHER DIDN'T HAVE ANY RUBBERS TO PASS OUT TO THE STUDENT.  After further discussion, it came to light that in Scotland a RUBBER IS AN ERASER.
