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.
However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when
the teacher prodded him about his father, he finally replied, 'Okay...
my father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret. He 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 stay with him all night 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 actually works for the Democratic National
Committee and helped get Barack Obama elected President last
year, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the class.'
