I love the internet. Here's one making the rounds:

An elementary teacher started a new job at a school in Los Angeles and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explained to her class that she's a Lakers fan. She asked the class to raise their hands if they too are Lakers fans. Everyone in the class raised their hand except one little girl.

The teacher looked at the girl with surprise and says: "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"

Mary replies, "Because I'm not a Lakers fan!"

The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well, if you're not a Lakers fan, then who do you support?"

"I'm a Sonics fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why are you a Sonics fan?"

"Because my mom and dad are from Seattle and my mom is a Sonics fan and my dad is a Sonics fan, so I'm a Sonics fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Sonics fan. You don't have to be just like your parent all of the time. What if your mom was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and a car thief, what would you be then?"

Mary said, "I'd be a Blazers fan."
