Embarrassing Parents
A joke forwarded to me by a reader:
Tags: PoliticsOne 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.
But 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 make love with him 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 works for the Democratic National Committee and is helping to secure the nomination of Hillary Clinton, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.”
Well, color me tasteless then. I found it quite funny. I think you might have found it funnier if it had been aimed in a different direction.
The joke is a thinly disguised bio
of RNC chairman Ken Mehlman.
It wasn’t a good joke, it was a tasteless joke. So was mine. We can do without both.
WOOF: Is that the best retort you have?
Everybody else: Can’t we all just enjoy a good joke? Hell, it would still be funny if you replaced it with your favorite Republican Presidential hopeful. Rice?
