A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for a living. "Ted, you be first," she said. "What does your mother do all day?" Ted stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor."

"That's wonderful. How about you, Annie?"

Annie shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman." "Thank you, Annie," said the teacher.

"What about your father, Bobby?" Bobby proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse."

The teacher was aghast and promptly changed the subject to geography. Later that day she went to Bobby's house and rang the bell. Bobby's father answered the door. The teacher explained what his son had said and demanded an explanation.

Bobby's father said, "I'm actually an attorney. But, how can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?"
