Uncle Ted

One day, a teacher decided to teach her students how every experience was an opportunity to learn something. How every story has moral. SO, she tells them all to go home and learn a story from their family, then say what morals they could find within them.

The studens come back and tell the usual tales. Don't put all your eggs into one basket, don't count your chickens before they hatch, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary, but still vital to life. Then the teacher gets to young Johnny and he begins to tell the story he learned from his Uncle.

"Well, a long time ago Uncle Ted was in the Army in Vietnam. One day he was flying a plane and a rocket knocked out the engines. He jumped out with just a parachute, a case of beer, a machine gun, and a machete. On the way down he dank the case of beer and readied the machine gun. A good thing, too, since he landed right in the middle of 100 North Vietnam soldiers. He shot 75 dead before he ran out of bullets and killed another 20 with the machete before it broke. Without a weapon he killed the last five his bare hands."

When he was done the teacher stared at him in horror, asking what lesson he could possibly learn from that story.

"Don't fuck with Uncle Ted when he's been drinking."

Maybe we should get all the Americans in Iraq a healthy-dose of beer and they can come home sooner! ;)

Entertaining the troops. While in helicopter from one point to another, her helo was shot at with the rest of the story being the same.
