The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
"Johnny, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told a story about my Aunt Carol.

"Aunt Carol 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 small flask of whiskey,
a pistol and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it
wouldn't fall into enemy hands and then her parachute landed right in the
middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of them with the gun until
she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, 'til the blade
broke and then she killed the last one with her bare hands."

"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "What kind of moral did your
daddy teach you from that horrible story?"

"Stay away from Aunt Carol when she's been drinking."
