My Daddy the Dancer

From a forwarded email:

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did
for a living. All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic,
businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth. However, little
Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded
him about his father.

He replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off
all 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 and
stay with him all night for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other
children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask
him, "Is that really true about your father?"

"No," the boy said, "He really plays for the Chicago Bears, but I was too
embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."
