Little David was in his 5th grade class when the
Teacher asked the children what their fathers did
for a living. All the typical answers came up --
fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc.

David was being uncharacteristically quiet and so
the teacher asked him about his father.


"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and
takes off all his clothes in front of other men.
Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he'll go out
to the alley with some guy and make love with him
for money."


The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement,
hurriedly set the other children to work on some
exercises and took little David aside to ask him,

"Is that really true about your father?"

"No," said David, "He works for the Kerry campaign,
but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of
the other kids."
