A Moral Story.
The teacher gave the fifth grade class an assignment: Have your parents tell you a story with a moral at the end.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
“Johnny, do you have a story to share?”
“Yes, ma’am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt Jo. She was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a small flask of whisky, a pistol and a survival knife. She drank the whisky on the way down so it wouldn’t break and then her parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of them with her gun until she ran out of bullets. Killed four more with the knife, ‘til the blade broke, then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands.”
“Good Heavens,” said the horrified teacher. “What kind of moral did your daddy teach you from this horrible story?”
“Stay away from Aunt Jo when she’s been drinking.”
