One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.
However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, sets the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin out into the hall and asks him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," the boy said, "He really works for the Republican National Committee and helped get George Bush elected as President, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids

There's a similar story circulating in the UK at the moment, except it ends:
"No, he plays for the England cricket team but I was too embarrassed to admit it in front of the other kids."
Different places, different targets; same jokes.
