So, speaking of Irish Gurls........
Which I was, you were not.....
Teacher sends the 5th grade kids home with an assignment to get a family story and bring it in to school with an accompanying moral.
Next day Ashley tells the class "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg laying hens.
One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a big mess."
"What's the moral of the story?" the teacher asked.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.
Next, little Sara raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers too.
But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched, we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, don't count your chickens before they're hatched."
"That was a fine story, Sara. Michael, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in the Gulf War and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't
break and then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops.
She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of a moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Stay the hell away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking!" |
