Voted best joke in Ireland 2006

A teacher asks her class to use the word "contagious".

Roland the teacher's pet gets up and says, "Last year I got the measles
and
my mum said it was contagious."

"Well done, Roland," says the teacher. "Can anyone else try?"

Katie, a sweet little girl with pigtails, says, "My grandma says there's
a
bug going round, and it's contagious."

"Well done, Katie," says the teacher. "Anyone else?"

Little Irish Sean jumps up and says in a broad Dublin accent, "Our next
door neighbour is painting his house with a 2 inch brush, and my dad
says
it will take the contagious."
