My Dad the Dancer

ARGH!!!!! What has become of our NATION?!
I got this from a Navy shipmate

One day a fourth-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 replied, "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 really works for the Democratic National Committee and is helping to get Hillary Clinton to be our next President, but I was to embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

At least the kid has a conscience.
