Blue Monday

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a New England
Patriots fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Pats
fans too. Not really knowing what a Pats fan was, but wanting to be liked
by their teacher, their hands fly into the air.

There is, however, one exception. Susie has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not
a patriot fan" she reports.

"Then," asks the teacher, "what are you?"
"I'm a Indinapolis colts fan" boasts the little girl. The teacher asks
Susie why she is a Colts fan. "Well, my Dad and Mom are Colts fans, so I'm
a Colts fan too" she responds.

"That's no reason," the teacher says. "What if your mom was a moron, and
your dad was an idiot. What would you be then?"

Susie smiles and says, "Then I'd be a New England Patriots fan."
