Lifesavers¹

   A teacher was working with a group of kindergarten children, trying to broaden their horizons through sensory perception.  She brought in a variety of Lifesavers and said, “Children, I’d like you to close your eyes and taste these.”

   The kids easily identified the taste of cherries, lemons and mint, but when the teacher gave them honey-flavored lifesavers, all of the kids were stumped.  “I’ll give you a hint,” said the teacher.  “It’s something your mommy probably calls your daddy all the time.”

   Instantly, one of the kids coughed his onto the floor and shouted,  “Spit ‘em out - they’re horney bastards!”

   ¹For those not familiar with them, Lifesavers are a hard candy, disk-shaped with a hole in the middle, resembling their namesakes.  They come in a wide variety of flavors, are usually packaged in a roll, and are relatively inexpensive.  And they're rather good, too!
