Circulation lesson...

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, “Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.”  

“Yes,” the class said.  

“Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn’t run into my feet?”  

A little fellow shouted,
“Cause your feet ain’t empty.”
