Lifesavers
A teacher was working with a group of children, trying to broaden their
horizons through sensory exploration. With their eyes closed, they would
feel objects from pumice stones to pine cones and smell aromatic herbs
and exotic fruits. Then one day, the teacher brought in a great variety
of lifesavers, more flavors than you could ever imagine.
"Children, I'd like you to close your eyes and taste these," announced
the teacher. Without difficulty, they managed to identify the taste of
cherries, lemons and mint, but when the teacher had them put honey
flavored lifesavers in their mouths, every one of the children was
stumped.
"I'll give you a hint," said the teacher. "It's something your Daddy and
Mommy probably call each other all the time."
Instantly, one of the children spat the lifesaver out of his mouth and
shouted, "Spit 'em out, you guys, they're assholes!"
