One day, at the end of class, little Billy's teacher had the class go home, think of a story, and then conclude the moral of that story. The following day the teacher asked for the first volunteer to tell their story.
Little Suzy raised her hand. "My dad owns a farm, and every Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the truck, and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump, and all the eggs flew out of the basket, onto the road." The teacher asked for the moral of the story.
Suzy replies, "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket."
Next came little Lucy. "Well my dad owns a farm too, and every weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend, only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched."
The teacher asks for the moral of the story.
Lucy replied, "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."
Last is little Billy. "My uncle Ted fought in the Vietnam war, and his plane was shot down over enemy territory. He jumped out before it crashed with only a case of beer, a machine gun, and a machete. On the way down, he drank the case of beer. Unfortunately, he landed right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70 with his machine gun, but ran out of bullets, so he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more. Then, the blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands".
Teacher looks in shock at Billy, and asks if there is possibly any moral to his story.
Billy replies, "Don't fuck with Uncle Ted when he's been drinking." |
