Little David was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the
children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers
came up-fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc.
David was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked
him about his father. "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret
and takes off his clothes in front of other men and they put money
in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he goes
home with some guy and makes love with him for money.
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the
other children to work on some other work while she took little David
aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said David, "He works for the Democratic National Committee
to elect John Kerry, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front
of the other kids..."
