<<>>KIDS TELL ALL<<>>
One day at the end of class little Billy's teacher has the class go
home and think of a story and then conclude with the moral of that
story. The following day, when the teacher asks for the first
volunteer to tell their story, little Suzy raises 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, oneSunday
we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto
the road. " The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Suzy
replies, "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket."
Next is 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 replies "Don't count your chickens before they're
hatched."
Last is little Billy. "My Uncle Ted fought in Vietnam; 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. 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 could possibly be any moral to his story. Billy replies, "Don't
screw with Uncle Ted when he's been drinking."
