An elementary teacher starts a new job at a school in Tampa and trying to
make a good impression on her first day, she explains to her class that she
is a huge FSU fan. She asks the class to raise their hands if they, too,
are
FSU fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.
The teacher looks a tad surprised and says:
"Mary, why didn't you raise your hand like the rest of the class?"
"Because I'm not a Seminoles fan.", she replied.
So, the new teacher then asked, " Well, if you are not a Seminoles fan,
then
who do you support?"
Mary replied, "I'm a Gator, and very proud of it!"
The teacher, now becoming interested in this lone dissenter, asks, "Mary,
why are you a Gator fan?"
And Mary replies, "Because my Mom and Dad went to UF and my Mom is a Gator
fan and my Dad is a Gator fan, so I'm a Gator fan, too."
"Well," said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, "that's not
necessarily a reason to be a Gator fan! You don't have to be just like your
parents all of the time. Let me ask you...what if your Mom was a prostitute
and your Dad was a crack head and a car thief, what would you be then?"
Mary replies, "I'd be a Hurricanes fan."
