For something_of_the_night:
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a New York Mets fan.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Mets fans too. Not
really knowing what a Mets fan is, but wanting to be liked by their teacher,
their hands fly into the air.
There is, however, one exception.
A little boy named Mike has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks him why he has decided to be different.
"Because I'm not a Mets fan" he retorts.
"Then," asks the teacher "what are you?"
"I'm a proud New York Yankees fan!" boasts the little boy.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red.
She asks Mike why he is a Yankees fan.
"Well, my Dad and Mom are Yankees fans, so I'm a Yankees fan too" he
responds.
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly.
"What if your Mom was a moron, and your Dad was an idiot. What would you be
then?"
Mike says, "Then I'd be a Mets fan."
Disclaimer: Although I am a die-hard Yankee fan, unlike most Yankee fans, I do not hate the Mets or the Red Sox. The Yankee/Mets and Yankee/Red Sox rivalries are the best in baseball.
