One day at the end of class little Billy's teacher has the class go home
and think of a story and then conclude with the moral of that story.
The following day, when the teacher asks for the first volunteer to tell
their story, little Suzy raises her hand.
"My dad owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the
truck and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday
we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto the
road." The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Suzy replies,
"Don't keep all your eggs in one basket."
Next is little Lucy. "Well, my dad owns a farm too and every weekend
we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend
only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched."The teacher asks for the moral of the
story. Lucy replies "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.
Last is little Johnny. "My Uncle Ted was a Marine and fought in
Vietnam; his plane was shot down over enemy territory. He jumped out
before it crashed with only a case of beer, a machine gun and a machete.
On the way down he drank the case of beer. unfortunately, he landed
right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70 with his
machine gun, but ran out of bullets, so he pulled out his machete and
killed 20 more. The blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last
ten with his bare hands." The teacher looks in shock at little Johnny
and asks if there could possibly be any moral, to his story. Little
Johnny replies, "Don't fuck with Uncle Ted when he's been drinking."
