Just a little humor

[Shiftless2]

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken."
She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed.
My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.
I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals .......very much.
I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was.
I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.
She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most.
I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now . . . .

Young cowboy boy, psychologist Joy Browne said "Between honesty & duplicity is silence." BUT !

Joke aside, #1,381 presents what pop-psychologists call a "teachable moment".
An opportunity for teacher to instill in the class an appreciation for a sure-footed steed, able to take the rider where he could not otherwise go.
And the comfort and security of a good guard dog that barks as strangers approach.
And the comfort of a cat to purr & warm.

BUT NOOOO !
She had to show her own lack of principal ...
