I guess, after the joke, I owe a little more: I think what Jesus is really saying in the verse above is that the study of God's word is like going to School. At the beginning we learn the fundamental; the basic, and if we continue in our study, we will continue to learn and understand more and more. For example, in going to school I learned math; first how to count, add, subtract, multiple, etc. Later more was given/revealed to me in algebra, trigonometry, differential calculus, and integral calculus. Had I dropped out of school early or neglected to continue using what I had learned, much of what I had learned would be lost/forgotten.
