In school one day, the teacher decided that in science class she
would teach about the elements. So she stood in the front of the
class and said, "Children, if you could have one raw element in the
world what would it be?"

Little Stevie raised his hand and said, "I would want gold, because
gold is worth a lot of money and I could buy a Porsche."

The teacher nodded and called on little Susie.

Little Susie said, "I would want platinum, because platinum is worth
more than gold and I could buy a Corvette"

The teacher smiled and then called on Little Johnny. Little Johnny
stood up and said, "I would want silicon."

The teacher said, "Why Johnny?"

He responded by saying, "Because my mom has two bags of it and you
should see all the sports cars outside our house!"
