One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what
their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up --
fireman, mechanic , businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer,
and so forth.
But little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet,
so when the teacher prodded him about his father,
he replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret
and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they
put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is
really good, he will go home with some guy and make love
with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement,
hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises
and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true
about your father?"
"No," the boy said, "He works for the Republican
National Committee and helped re-elect George Bush, but I
was too embarrassed to say that iin front of the other kids."
