A first grade teacher in a small town in Texas explains to her class that
she is a George Bush fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they
are Bush fans too. Not really knowing what a Bush fan is,
but wanting to be liked by the teacher, their hands fly into the air.
There is, however, one exception. A little boy named Mike has not gone along
with the crowd.
The teacher asks him why he has decided to be different.
“Because I’m not a Bush fan” he retorts. “Then,” asks the teacher “what are
you?”
“I’m a proud Al Gore fan!” boasts the little boy. The teacher is a little
perturbed now,
her face slightly red. She asks Mike why he is a Gore fan
“Well, my Dad and Mom are Gore fans, so I’m a Gore fan too” he responds.
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly.
“What if your Mom was a moron, and your Dad was an idiot.
What would you be then?” Mike says, “Then I’d be a Bush fan.”
