Once upon a time on a bright, warm Sunday morning, all of the good Christian people brought their children to the Sunday School at the New Faith Christian church in the green valley. The sun shone down, the butterflies flapped their multicolored wings and the adults entered the sanctuary while the kiddies marched off like little solders to the adjoining bungalow to learn their lessons about Jesus and the heavenly family.
Everyone was happy, and the Sunday School teacher put on a great smiling face as she prepared to hand out materials to each of the children so they could learn their lessons. This morning, the materials were fairly simple. Each child was given a blindfold and instructed to put it on. And so they did.
Next, the smiling teacher began to hand out something unseen and each child was supposed to guess what it was. Most of the children guessed correctly that the small objects given them were the new Life Savers candies. The teacher then profusely congratulated the children on their exceptional awareness at correctly guessing the substance of her offering. After that, she went into a lesson about Jesus being a life saver for each one of them and it was good.
After that, the teacher required that the children taste each of the Life Saver candies and describe what flavor they thought they were tasting. Well, the children did quite well, guessing orange, lemon, lime, grape and so forth. Of course, after each flavor was decided upon, the teacher came up with a little story about how that particular taste could be associated with something important in the bible.
All went well until the class was handed the honey-flavored Life Savers whereupon none of the children could guess the flavor. Try as they may, each one failed. After a while, the confusion became embarrassing and finally, the Sunday School teacher began to coach her charges. She tried several options, none of which worked. Then almost in despair, she announced to the class that the name of the flavor of the candy that each child had in their little mouths was named the same as the name that their mothers and fathers called each other every night.
Well, the children tasted and thought, and tasted and thought. One little fellow repeatedly rolled his honey-flavored Life Saver around in his mouth, sticking his little tongue in and out and in and out through the hole, while deep in thought. Then, all of a sudden, he spit out his round, little candy with the hole in the center and screamed to the rest of his class at the top of his lungs: "Hey, spit 'em out guys, they are a bunch of ASSHOLES!"
