Stop me if you've heard this one
An alert reader sends along this story:
Young David was in his 4th 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. David 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 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 make love with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said David, "He works for the Republican National Committee to re-elect George Bush, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

Odd.
The first time I heard that joke, David's dad was an attorney.

Reminds me of a true story from my dad's childhood.
Kids were supposed to take money to school to buy lunch tickets. My grandparents were poor and told dad to ask for the free tickets. "Tell them your mother's destitute," Granny said.
I think you can guess the rest...

So Erik Sten, Tom Potter, Lars Larson and Neil Goldschmidt were all on the Portland Spirit one evening when it ran directly into a barge.
As it began taking on water, Erik Sten stood up and announced that he was demanding an immmediate investigation the circumstances that led to this disaster.
Tom Potter pushed Sten aside and yelled,
"Son, there's no time for that. Men, get to the lifeboats, load the women and children first!"
Lars barked,
"I'm not waiting around to drown. Screw the women and children!"
Neil then asked,
"Do you really think there's enough time?"

Heard it, but it wasn't George Bush or the Republican National Committee. I think we run in different circles. :-)
