A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment: To get their
>> parent to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
>> The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their
>> stories.
>>
>>
>> Ashley said, 'My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg laying hens..
>> One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat
>> of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got
>> broken.'
>>
>> 'What's the moral of that story?' asked the teacher.
>>
>> 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!'
>>
>> 'Very good,' said the teacher.
>>
>>
>>
>> Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, 'Our family are farmers too..
>> But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a dozen eggs,
>> but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this
>> story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'.'
>>
>> 'That was a fine story Sarah.'
>>
>> Little Johnny, do you have a story to share?'
>>
>>
>> 'Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Sharon who was a RAF
>> flight engineer on a plane in the Gulf War and her plane got hit. She
>> had
>> to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whisky,
>> a
>> machine gun and a machete. She drank the whisky on the way down so it
>> wouldn't break and then she landed right in the middle of 100 Iraqi
>> soldiers. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran
>> out of ammunition. Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the
>> blade broke. And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.'
>>
>> 'Good heavens, that's some story,' said the horrified teacher, 'what kind
>> of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?'
>>
>> 'Stay the f**k away from Aunty Sharon when she's been drinking.'
