Little Archie was doing quite badly at maths. His parents had tried everything - tutors, mentors, grinds, flash cards, even Special Education Centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his maths, but all to no avail.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Archie down and enrolled him
in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Archie came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.
Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Archie was soon hard at work.
His mother was amazed!!! She called him down for dinner. To her shock and amazement, the minute he'd finished eating, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back, hitting the books, as hard as before.
This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what had made all the difference.
Finally, little Archie brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books again.
With great trepidation, his Mother looked at it and to her great surprise, little Archie had got an 'A' in maths. She could no longer hold her curiosity.
She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?'
Little Archie looked at her and shook his head. 'No,' he said.
'Well, then,' she replied, 'was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms even?'
Little Archie looked at her and said, 'On the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't messing around!!!!!!!'

That must be the geekiest joke ever.
