    The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment:
    Get their parents 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.

    Glenn 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
    went flying and broke and made a mess."

    "What's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.
    "Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
    "Very good," said the teacher.

    Next little Andrew raised his hand and said, "Our family are farmers
    too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs
    one time, 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 Andrew.

    Gavin, do you have a story to share?"

    "Yes, my daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was
    a flight engineer 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
    whiskey, a machine gun and a machete.

    She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then
    she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed
    seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets.
    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," said the horrified teacher, "What kind of moral did
    your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"

    "Stay the f#çk away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking."
