Career Day

It's career day at school and the teacher instructs his students each to stand up, state their parents occupation, spell it and then tell what their parent would do if they were here today.

Little Rodney stands up and says, "my father is an accountant, A-C-C-O-U-N-T-A-N-T, and if he were here today, he would help you balance your checkbook".

"Good Rodney" says the teacher, "how about you, Jimmy?'"

Jimmy stands up and stammers, "my father is an electrician, E-L-E-K-T, no, no, E-L-E-C-K-T no... L-E-C-K- no...

The teacher interrupts, "never mind Jimmy, sit down, how about you Johnny?"

Johnny stands up and says, "My dad's a bookie, that's B-O-O-K-I-E, and if he were here today he'd give you ten to one odds that there's no way Jimmy's ever gonna spell electrician!"
