Aunt From Desert Storm
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.
“Johnny, do you have a story to share?”
“Yes,
ma'am, my daddy told a story about my Aunt Judy. Aunt Judy was a pilot in Desert
Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all
she had was a small flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife. She drank
the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't fall into enemy hands and then her
parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of
them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife,
'til the blade broke and then she killed the last one with her bare hands.”
“Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher,
“What
kind of moral did your daddy teach you from that horrible story?”
“Stay the
heck away from Aunt Judy when she's been drinking.”
