Little Roger

Little Roger was in his 5th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc.

Herbie was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father. "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all of his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out into the alley with some guy and have sex with him for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took little Herbie aside to ask him, "is that really true about your father?"
"Nah," said young Roger, "He works for the Kerry campaign, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
