Object Lesson In Humour

Mrs. Caty was lecturing her third grade class about the ways people are different.

"For example, I'm a Republican, because I believe that Republicans are best suited to protect this country. Who else here is a Republican?"

Immediately, almost all the hands in the class shot up, except for little Jimmy.

"And who here is a Democrat?"

Little Jimmy raised his hand.

"Jimmy, can you explain to us why you're a Democrat?"

"Because my mom is and my dad is."

"For heaven's sake, Jimmy, that's not a good reason! What if your mother and father were morons?"

"Then I'd be a Republican."
