A teacher was working with a group of underprivileged 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 life savers, 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 life savers 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!"
