Little Johnnie Kerry was in his 6th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc. Little Johnnie Kerry was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took Little Johnnie aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said Little Johnnie Kerry, "He works for the Democratic National Committee to elect John F. Kennedy, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids." !!!
