Runaway
Posted: December 13, 2004 1:35 pm
A little boy is sent to juvenile court because of his numerous repeated attempts to run away. When he's brought before the judge, the judge says "Son, you've simply got to stop running away from your home. Now, I am going to put you in the custody of your Father and you must stay there".
At this point, the boy starts crying and says "No, no, please judge, I don't want to go live with my Father". "Why not?" asks the judge. "Because when my Father gets drunk which is nearly every night, he beats me and I don't want to go live with him." says the boy.
"Alright," says the judge, "then I have no choice but to send you back to live with your Mother" at which point the boy resumes crying even louder than before and says "No, no, please judge, I just cant' live with my Mother!". "Why on earth not?" asks the judge. "Because when my Mother has a fight with her boyfriend which is nearly every night, she beats me even worse than my Father, and I don't want to live with her any more!" cries the boy.
Exasperated and not knowing what to do, the judge says to the boy "Well, you don't want to live with your Father and I understand why. And you don't want to live with your Mother and now I understand why. But please tell me, where can I send you to live?" Without hesitating, the boy says "I want to go live with the Miami Dolphins!" and the judge says, "The Miami Dolphins?? Why do you want to live with the Miami Dolphins?" Then the boy shoots back...
(here it comes)
"I want to live with the Miami Dolphins because they never beat anybody!"
