A grade school teacher was asking his pupils what their parents did for a living.
"Tim, you be first. What does your mother do?"
Tim stood up and said, "She's a doctor."
"That's wonderful. How about you, Amy?"
Amy shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman."
"Thank you, Amy" said the teacher. "What does your parent do, Billy?"
Billy stood up and proudly announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse."
The teacher was shocked and went to Billy's house. Billy's father answered the door. The teacher explained what his son had said and demanded an explanation.
Billy's dad said, "I'm actually an internationalization engineer specializing in collation and normalization with multibyte Unicode canonical encoding called UTF-8 and UTF-16.
How can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?"
