Trump and the Outhouse
It so happens that one fine day, the 10-year-old Donald Trump and one of the neighborhood kids who was bribed into pretending to be his friend were walking around on the Trump family estate when they spy an outhouse next to a small cliff.
"Hey!" yelled Trump. "Let's push it over the cliff! It'll be fun!" They do so.
A couple hours later, his father called him into his den. "Donald, did you push the outhouse over the cliff?"
"Why no sir," Trump said, "why would I want to do something like that?"
Trump's dad said, "Donald, did I ever tell you about George Washington and the cherry tree?"
"No, father."
"Well, you see, one day George Washington as a boy chopped down a cherry tree on his family's farm. When they asked if he did it, George stood up and said, 'Father, I cannot tell a lie. I chopped it down.' And he didn't get in any trouble at all. Now, did you push the outhouse over the cliff?"
"Father, I cannot tell a lie. I pushed the outhouse over the cliff."
Trump's dad immediately beat Trump to within an inch of his life and arranged to ship him off to military school.
"But father, why? You said Washington fessed up to chopping down a cherry tree and didn't get in trouble for it."
"George Washington's father wasn't sitting in the cherry tree when he chopped it down."
