Little Johnny

In a classroom of third graders, the teacher says to the kids, "Today, class, we will be telling stories that have a moral to them." She explains what a moral to a story is and asks for any volunteers.

Little Susie raises her hand. "I live on a farm and we have a chickenthat laid 12 eggs. We were excited to have 12 more chickens, but onlysix of them hatched."

Teacher: "That's a good story, now what is the moral?"

Susie: "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."

Teacher: "Very good, Susie, anyone else?"

Billy: "Yes teacher. I was carrying some eggs I bought for my Mom in my bicycle basket one day and I crashed my bike and all the eggs broke."

Teacher: "And what is the moral, Billy?"

Billy: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Teacher: "Very good, anyone else?"

Little Johnny: "Teacher, my aunt Karen is in the army and when she was in the Gulf War she parachuted down with a gun, 20 bullets, a knife, and a six pack of beer. On her way down she drank the six pack. When she landed she shot 20 Iraqis and killed ten of 'em with her knife."

Teacher: "Very interesting, Johnny. What is the moral of your story?"

Johnny: "Don't mess with aunt Karen when she's drunk."
