Moral Of The Story

A primary school class was asked to tell a story with a moral. Kathy went first, “Once we were driving a basket of hen eggs to market and we hit a big bump in the road. The eggs broke. The moral is don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

Tammy was next. “Once, we had a dozen eggs, but when they hatched, we got only ten chicks. The moral is don’t count your chickens before they hatched.”

Then it was Johnny’s turn. When my Aunt Karen was in Desert Storm, her plane was hit. She bailed out over enemy territory with only a bottle of whisky and a machine gun.

“She drank the liquor on the way down so it wouldn’t break, and landed in the middle of 100 enemy soldiers. She killed with the machine gun, and when she ran out of bullets, she killed 70 with the machine gun, and when she ran out of bullets, she killed the rest with her bare hands.”

“What is moral of that terrible story?” the teacher asked horrified.

“Stay away from Aunt Karen when she’s been drinking.”
