Aunt Karen

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.
Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying
hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the
front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all
the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."
"What's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.
Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers
too. But we raise chickens for the meat market.
We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten
live chicks, and the moral to this story is, "don't count your
chickens before they're hatched."
"That was a fine story Sarah. Michael, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, my daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen
was a flight engineer in the Gulf War and her plane was hit. She
had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle
> of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete.
"She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break,
and she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops.
"She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out
of bullets.
"Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade
broke. Then she killed the last ten with her bare hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of moral did
your daddy say you would get from that horrible story?"
"Stay the hell away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking."
