A teacher decides to have Career Day in her class. She asks each student to tell the class what their father’s job is, spell it, and then explain what they do.
Mary stands up and says, “My father is a policeman. P -O-L-I-C-E-M-A-N. He puts bad people in jail and keeps us all safe.”
Sue stands up next and says, “My father is a doctor. D-O-C-T-O-R. He helps sick people get better.”
Bobby is next. He stands up and says, “My father is a pharmacist. F…F-R…”
The teacher tells Bobby to sit down and try to figure it out and moves on to the next kid.
Johnny stands up next and says, “My father is a bookie. B-O-O-K-I-E. He’d give you 10-1 odds that Bobby is never going to spell ‘pharmacist.’”
