One day a eighth-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.
However, 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 stay with him all night 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 get Hillary Clinton
to be our next President, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of
the other kids.
