One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did
for a living.
All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman,
salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.
But little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the
teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic
dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men
and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good,
he will go home 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 then took little Justin aside to
ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," the boy said, "He works for the Republican National Committee and
helped re-elect George Bush, but I was too embarrassed to say that in
front of the other kids."
