Story with a Moral -
Desert Storm Pilot
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. There were all the regular types of stuff: spilled
milk
and pennies saved.
But then the teacher realized, much to her dismay, that only Ernie was
left.
"Ernie, do you have a story to share?"
Yes ma'am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt
Karen.
She 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 flask of
whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife. She drank the
whiskey on
the way down so the bottle wouldn't break and then her parachute landed
her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi troops. She shot 15 of
them
with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with
the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi
with her bare hands."
"Good Heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of moral did
your daddy tell you from this horrible story?"
"Stay the hell away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking," he
replied. |
