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

Billy was quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.

"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. If the offer's good, he'll have sex for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some class work, and took little Billy aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"

"No," said Billy, "He works for the Bush administration, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
