The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment:
Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
‘Tony, do you have a story to share?’

My daddy told me a story about my Aunt Erin.
She was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit.
She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife.

She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands.’

‘Stay the Hell away from Aunt Erin when she’s been drinking.
