One day a fifth 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 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 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!"
