A teacher gave her class of 11-year-olds an assignment: to 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.
A girl called Jill said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. Once 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. The moral to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.'"
"That was a fine story, Sarah," said the teacher. “Michael, do you have a story to share?" "Yes,” replied Michael.” My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Sharon. Aunty Sharon was a 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 spill when she landed, then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed 70 of them with the machine gun, then ran out of bullets. She killed 20 more with the machete, then the blade broke. She killed the last 10 with her bare hands." "Good heavens," said the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral message did your daddy tell you that horrible story had?" Michael replied: "Stay the heck away from Aunty Sharon when she's been drinking."
