Moral of the Story: A teacher asked her class to tell a family story with a moral. One by one, the kids told their stories. Kathy: "My father's a chicken farmer. Once, we took our eggs to market in a basket. When we hit a bump in the road, all the eggs broke. The moral is: 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!'" "Very good. Now Lucy, what is your story?" Lucy: "We raise chickens for the meat market. Once, we had a dozen eggs that we thought would hatch. When the eggs hatched, we only got ten chicks. And the moral is 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.'" "That was a fine story Lucy. Johnny do you have a story to share?" Johnny: "Yes, Ma'am. My Uncle Bob was a pilot in Vietnam. He had to bail out over enemy territory, and all he had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. He drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break, and then he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. He killed 70 with the machine gun until he ran out of bullets. He killed 20 with the machete until the blade broke. Then he killed the last 10 with his bare hands." Teacher: "My goodness! What kind of moral do you get from that horrible story?" Johnny smiled brightly and replied, "Don't fuck with Uncle Bob when he's been drinking."
