I AM GUMBY DAMMIT
Little Jamal is in the 5th grade. Yesterday morning when the teacher asked
the
children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came
up;
fireman, policeman, salesman,etc.
The teacher noticed that Little Jamal was being uncharacteristically quiet
and
so she asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay bar and takes off all his clothes in
front
of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out to the
alley
with some guy."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other
children to work on some coloring, and took Jamal aside to ask him, "Is
that really true about your father?"
"No," said Jamal, "He plays for the Ravens, but I was too embarrassed to say
that in front of the other kids."

Soooooo glad Jamal's dad isn't with the Redskins like he was last year.
