One day in the fifth grade, the children were telling stories that had morals to them. Little Buddy told a tale of when his Uncle Kyle was an Army paratrooper during the Vietnam war. "Once Uncle Kyle's plane was shot down by the NVA and he had to bail out before the drop zone. The plane was on fire, so all he could jump with was a quart of scotch, a carbine and his .45. On the way down he started drinking the scotch. As he descended, he started shooting the NVA who had downed the plane with his carbine, killing quite a few of the gun crew. He finished the scotch as he hit the ground, and proceded to kill the remaining members of the gun crew with his .45, along with a peace activist from New York."

The teacher was shocked and asked Buddy what the moral of the story was. Buddy squared his shoulders and said "Don't f**k with a paratrooper when he has been drinking".
