The Moral of the Story

[PhutureMD]

Ms. James is teaching her class about stories that teach you a lesson. She explains that this lesson is called a moral, and asks if anyone has an example of such a story. Suzie raises her hand, is called on and tells this tale: "My daddy raises chickens and sells them. One year he had over a hundred eggs. He told us he was gonna make alot of money and take us all on a trip. When the time came, only 12 of the eggs hatched, he didn't get alot of money and we didn't get to take the trip."
"Good example," says Ms. James. "What would the moral be?"
"Well, I guess it's don't count your chickens before they hatch," replied Suzie.
Next, Sammy raises his hand. "My daddy has chickens too, only he sells the eggs at the market. Once he had 200 eggs, put them in a big basket and went to sell them. But when he went to his truck, he slipped in some mud, dropped the basket and broke all the eggs."
"That's too bad Sammy, but what is the moral of your story?" asked Ms. James.
Sammy responded, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Next, little Johnny raises his hand, and without waiting to be called on, launches into his story. "My aunt Beth was an Air Force pilot during the Persian Gulf War. One day her plane was shot down over Iraq, and she had to parachute out. When she got on the ground, she was surrounded by the Republican Guard. She pulled out her pistol and shot until she ran out of bullets. Then she took her pocket knife out and stabbed as many as she could, but the blade broke. Finally, she reached inside her flight suit, pulled out a bottle of whiskey, drank the whole thing, and killed the rest of them with her bare hands."
Ms. James was stunned. "That's quite the story Johnny, but what's the moral?"
Johnny thought a moment, then answered, "I guess it's that you should never f**k with Aunt Beth when she's been drinking."
