-> The Moral of Auntie Sharon->
->A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment: To get their
->parent 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.
->
->Ashley 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 got broken.'
->
->'What's the morale 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, and the moral
->to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'.'
->
->'That was a fine story Sarah.'
->
->Michael, do you have a story to share?'
->
->'Yes. 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 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 away from Aunty Sharon when she's pissed.'
