A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did 
for a living. "Tim, you be first," she said. "What does your mother 
do all day?"

Tim stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor."

"That's wonderful. How about you, Amie?"

Amie shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and finally said, 
"My father is a mailman."

"Thank you, Amie," said the teacher. "What about your father, Johnny?"

Johnny proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy plays piano in a 
whorehouse!"

The teacher was aghast and promptly changed the subject to geography.

Later that day she went to Johnny's house and rang the bell.
Johnny's father answered the door. The teacher explained what his
son had said and demanded an explanation.

Johnny's father said, "I'm actually an attorney. 
How can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?"

If you lend someone $20, and never see that 
person again, it was probably worth it.
