Past Tense Beauty

An old teacher asked her student, "If I say, 'I am beautiful,' which tense is that?" The student replied, "It is obviously past."

Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from the student's witty response. The teacher is asking about grammatical tense, but the student interprets "I am beautiful" as something that used to be true, therefore "past tense". It's funny because it's a bit of an insult disguised as a grammatical answer.
