A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Mets fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were Met fans also, not really knowing what a Mets fan is but wanting to be just like their teacher, their hands exploded into the air like fleshy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception, a girl named Lucy, who did not go along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Mets fan".
The, asks the teacher, What are you? "Why I'm proud to be a Yankee fan" boasts the little girl. The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Yankee fan.
"Well, my dad and mom are Yankee fans and I'm a Yankee fan too" The teacher now becomes angry, "That's no reason" she says loudly, "What if your mom was a moron and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"
"Well, says Lucy, then I'd be a Mets fan!"
