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!"
