There’s something about certain folks when it comes to their special diets drives other folks bananas. Some folks see fit to browbeat and even force their diets upon others. You may know someone like this. They are typically vegetarians or vegans, and they say silly things like how their tofu hamburgers and hot dogs taste better than the real thing. Unfortunately, there’s simply no arguing with folks like this, and they always seem ready and willing to ruin your appetite with disgusting “facts” about your favorite foods. One such person is the teacher in this fictional joke who becomes triggered after her student hits a nerve with his answer.
Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried chicken.”
She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef.
Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class, my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal’s office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.
I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most.
I told her, “Colonel Sanders.”
Guess where I am now …
